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

[stan levandowski]

Stephen, I spent my career in business and negotiation is how things get 
done in business.  I began buttering her up a while back.  Offering to 
cook supper, taking her out for Sunday breakfast, cleaning the 
bathrooms, etc.  After a period of this "indirect" approach I then cut a 
cardboard box down to the 10x10x4 size of the K3 and pasted a downloaded 
picture of it on the box.  I set it next to my K2 but said nothing.  In 
a few days,, her curiosity got the best of her and she asked about it. 
I explained that it was my dream rig and that it would really be the 
final piece I'd need to complete my perfect All-Elecraft station.  This 
all made it easier to get to "you can buy your radio after we finish the 
painting."  The dog idea was a stroke of genius on my part...or was 
it????
