[Elecraft] End of the world and the KX3

[Don Wilhelm]

David,

That is a real relief - I would not want to *not* wake up on December 22 
or 23, 2012 and find that there is no more world.

OK, this is running astray of Elecraft communications, and Eric is about 
to tell us it is OT and exceeding the OT post limit - so have good day, 
and have a better tomorrow, and see you in 2013!

73,
Don W3FPR

Their calendar, actually one of several they used, predicted essentially the end of an era.  Nothing more.  Those of us who do not otherwise die of something else, will wake up on December 22, 2012 and go on with life and ham radio as usual.

>> Don, I thought you would get more comments too. However, apparently it's more important for folks to acquire a hobby radio than face the end of the world. I certainly understand the thrill of getting a new rig.  However, as I learned many years ago, this is still a hobby and no matter how anxious one is about the new rig, it's not all that important on the road of life!
