[Elecraft] A Success Story

[Terry Schieler]

It may not have begun this way intentionally, but Elecraft has morphed into a "design/build" company, with its customers happily tagging along as unpaid "consultants".

Congratulations guys!

Dick,

Thanks for this little anniversary present. It has been a bit of a wild ride over the past five years.

It may appear that our product strategy has been carefully premeditated. Truth is, we've just designed what we, as operators, really wanted for ourselves. Fortunately for Elecraft, the radios and accessories we've envisioned have appealed to others as well.

Another important factor: we've attracted some very talented and motivated engineers. They share our enthusiasm for the radio art, and enjoy the challenge of designing outside-the-box products.

Above all, we have the world's greatest customers. This stems in part from our long-time focus on kits. Kit-building is educational for individuals, but also creates legions of experts who take a lot of pride in helping new builders with both construction and operation.

73,
Wayne
