[Elecraft] You people just made me buy a K3 five minutes ago

[stan levandowski]

Thank you to the Lister who started the thread about "why I bought a 
K3".  And equal thanks to Alexy for his recent posting on "why I won't 
buy a K3".

Both of those threads helped me make up my mind once and for all.  The 
order was placed, the enter button was hit, the REF # came back, and now 
I just have to wait for the postman to ring.

My XYL wanted me to wait until I repainted the downstairs, hung a new 
ceiling fan, and fixed the running toilet in the guest bathroom.  In a 
masterful demonstration of tactical negotiation, I took her out this 
morning and bought her the Chihuahua she's been wanting.

Yes, that's how much I wanted a K3!

I'm a 100% HF CW QRP OP.  I look forward to sitting down in front of 
"the best" CW rig in the world.  And if I change my mind, the K3 was 
designed to provide me with the ability to expand my operating 
dimensions.  As far as "building" a K3, I'll be happy to screw boards 
together and mount knobs if it means that I'll end up with a premier 
radio.

73,
