[Elecraft] I thought Elecraft was a household name!

[Nate Bargmann]

I worked a station on 6m this morning who gave me a very nice and
unsolicited audio report and asked what radio I was running.  I first
said it was a K3 and he replied that he was unfamiliar with that model
so I said "Elecraft K3" to which he asked how old it was.  I replied
that I bought it in late 2010 as a kit.  His reply amused me--"I didn't
know Hallicrafters was still in business!" I spelled out Elecraft and he
said he would have to Google that to see what it was all about.  

By this point I had presumed all the active hams had heard of Elecraft.
Heh!
