[Elecraft] Field Day Guide to K3 and P3 by K2QY--RECAP

[Ron D'Eau Claire]

As a professional technical writer off and on since the early 1960's I can
say that the ONLY time my audience willingly devoured the written manuals
before diving in were the manuals I wrote for defusing live ordinance
(bombs) during the Vietnam war. 

I write some of Elecraft's manuals, and customer support is forever noting
that a customer called about "this" (covered on page 4) and "that" (on pages
9 and 11) and the "other thing" (page 15).

I also created a 5 page printed guide and leaving at the station thinking it
would be read. That was dumb, as  I still had to answer many questions that
were all answered in the guide.  Finally I just answered those by just
putting the guide in front of them and saying Page 3 or Page 4. or whatever
page it was on.

     My mistake and it seems you did it correct is I will need to do a
presentation next year.
