[Elecraft] [TowerTalk] Elecraft package for sale

[Phil Hystad]

Well,

I just verified the phone number as being a wireless line in the city of Crestview, Florida, which the city of AK4EH...

And, his QRZ page is listing some of the same equipment for sale as listed in the message posted by Jim.  He even spelled K3 without the hyphen.  I am thinking that he had someone write up the message listing his equipment.

So, do you still think this is a scammer.  I think you are way off base on this guy.  

73, phil
