[Elecraft] Year of the K2

[Robert G. Strickland]

I have to believe that as long as Elecraft produces a radio that can be built from 
the ground up with a soldering iron - allowing for whatever specs and necessary SM 
components - there will be a market for it. I just hope that their business model 
allows for some such radio without doing the company harm. It's a real gift to the 
hobby and keeps the "experimental" dimension alive. I also think that such a 
radio/project appeases the gods and keeps the Elecraft mojo healthy and strong.
