[Elecraft] Itching for a new rig

[Gary D Krause]

Sales commission?  You get a sales commission? ;-)  Ed, I only had a new rig 
the first few years.  That was the first three years.  What can I say, I was 
excited about the hobby (I still am) and I was single.  My first was a Kenwood 
TS-530SP which I still have and use.  My second rig was a Ten Tec Century 22 a 
CW rig which I still have and use.  My third rig was a Kenwood TS-440s which I 
no longer have.  In 2007 I bought a Ten Tec Argonaut V.  I didn't like the DSP 
so I sold it after eight months and bought the K2 and put it together.  It 
ended up being a K2/100 but, I switch the tops back and forth depending on how 
I feel and what I want to work.  I really like it and as well as my other rigs 
but, darn it, I have this itch and it won't go away this time!  I may have to 
just buy a K3 and I'll blame you it it doesn't work out.  Okay? ;-)
