[Elecraft] Home brew, kits, etc.

[Ron D'Eau Claire]

For all the youngsters out there, we used to have this conversation ad
nauseum on the Ham bands back in the 1950's when "Appliance Operators" were
sneered at - no matter that their rigs were Collins, Hallicrafters,
National, etc., that usually worked much better than our home brew
creations. 

There was a lot of disagreement about whether a "kit" was "homebrewing" -
E.F. Johnson, Heath, WRL and others were cranking out new kits almost
monthly. 

There was even sentiment in some corners that it should be *illegal* for any
company to sell kits, much less finished rigs to the Ham market.

Some things never change, Hi!
