[Elecraft] ...Ser. No. 4103...

[John Ragle]

    Received K3/100-F Ser. No. 4103 and assembled it. Elapsed time: 
about 7 minutes. Unit has a Serious Defect -- it won't sit flat on the 
table. What now? Does Elecraft vend used matchbook covers to placed 
under the feet?

    Seriously, said beast-in-a-box arrived, it took a couple of minutes 
to solder lugs onto the power wire, a couple more minutes to connect the 
triband beam and the 6-meter quad, a minute to plug n the paddles, and 
Lo! Im Dunkel leuchtet ein Stern!

    I especially love the ATU's fast and effective action...as good as 
the Armstrong tuner I required on the F3K that has now sailed away over 
the horizon. Thanks to E'craft for their fast shipping...

    Until K4...
