[Elecraft] Kit Shipping Schedule Theory

[Bruce Beford]

Bob-
In this regard, Tom's list is very misleading. Only a small fraction of
customers have offered to place their orders on Tom's private spreadsheet.
It is really of no value unless you placed an order within the first few
hours of the order page opening up. Even then, you need to know your
confirmation email time, and are relying on those ahead of you to offer
their info for posting.

They are nowhere near 3/4 of the way through factory assembled orders. I
guarantee that. In fact, I would bet they are not even 10% of the way
through factory assembled orders. (and new orders are coming in daily) The
latest order confirmation time for a publicly announced factory assembled
KX3 delivery was 28 minutes after ordering opened. By now, there is a
backlog of probably close to 2000 units. Sales is quoting 90-120 day
delivery for orders placed now.

Last week, a posting was made indicating a 2 week delay in kit order
shipping starting. This would hopefully put kit orders beginning before
Dayton.

I ordered about 3 1/2 hours after the gate opened. I am still hoping to see
my kit by Field Day. (If not, I'll run the K2 and a KD1JV ATS/MTR rig)
