[Elecraft] Maxwell's Equations.

[Kevin Rock]

    I remember JFK saying (and I paraphrase) "... we do it not because it  
is easy, but because it is hard ..."  Do any of you think the K3 was  
designed in a week?  From what little I was told it was a matter of four  
or five years and it still being developed as we sit.  We did not get to  
the moon because it was a simple problem.  We got there through the  
efforts of many thousands of hard working engineers who had a dream.   
Whenever I feel bored or depressed I sit with a book on fluid dynamics or  
learn some new methods in mathematics.  It has taken years but I still  
need to keep learning more.  Each small step opens up a new vista for my  
exploration to continue.  As was stated earlier: "I see so far because I  
stand on the shoulders of giants."
    73,
       Kevin.  KD5ONS
