[Elecraft] Elecraft at UK National Hamfest

[David Heinsohn]

Hello All

   Yes Jim and I did an Elecraft display at the Wichita Area Hamfest 
yesterday.  Worked quite well.

   Jim supplied the K-line.  I supplied the K2, two transverters, six 
mini-kits and the XG-3.   Oh wait there were two XG-3s as Jim had his 
there too.  We both supplied lots of BS between each other and lots of 
facts about the Elecraft stuff.

   All of the products were well received.  Perhaps the most interest 
was show toward the XG-3.  Several professional techs were very 
interested in something they could take to a plane, car or truck without 
having to haul out the bench equipment on the two wheeler.  If Elecraft 
sees an uptick in XG-3 sales in the Wichita area over the next week, 
you're welcome.  :-)

   Both Jim and I enjoyed the event, as we enjoyed the Kansas State 
Convention in Salina a couple of weeks ago.

   Having a full K-line on display, and working with an outside antenna 
is no doubt the focus of the display.  But having the K-2 and other 
products on display (and in the case of the K-2 also with an outside 
antenna)  showed the diversity of the product line.  I hope over the 
next few months that I'm able to add a KX-3, and more of the other stuff 
to the display as well.

   All in all I think it worked well for those at the hamfest, and 
really that's what's important.
