[Elecraft] Unusual Phenomenon OT

[Guy Olinger K2AV]

I forgot to add one thing, that Dan is a perfect gentleman and a really
good operator.  I know personally he would NEVER do something like that

is the reason for his posting.  Those of us who know you, Dan, know exactly
what was going on and how transparent that was.   73, Guy.
