[Elecraft] Elecraft K3 presentation for a club?

[Gary K9GS]

Our local DX club...less than 20 members, has gone from 2 K3 owners to 5 
or 6 in less than 2 years.

I would LOVE a K3 presentation for a few that are still on the fence.

Hint:  Elecraft you can probably write off the cost of producing a video 
or PowerPoint...circulate one widely.
