[Elecraft] Outstanding Service

[Richard S. Leary]

To Everyone at Elecraft,

 

First, Merry Christmas  & A Happy New Year.

 

Elecraft, by far, has to have the greatest customer service anywhere.

 

Put in my order for a K1, 2 band kit, plus a 2nd 2 band board, and all the
extra sub-assemblies. Did that last Friday 12/12/14 morning at 0800 PDT.
With USPS priority mail, the box was on my doorstep this morning, Sunday
12/14/14. Is that fast enough, or what.

 

Getting ready for QRP. Already have the K3, P3, and KPA500. This weekend I
trained for QRP. Turned off the KPA500, took the K3 down to 5W, and have
made 150 contacts (S&P) so far. South Africa, Japan, Australia, New Zealand,
to mention a few on 5W. Not too bad. But then the 5W is being fed to a
SteppIR DB-18, which helps.

 

Have to start working QRP I guess. At 78+ I just had a new aortic valve put
in, and am a candidate for an implanted Cardio defibulator. From what I have
seen, those units don't like a lot of high power RF around, and my rig is
only an arms length away. Anyone have any experience with Cardio stuff and
RF. Reply off reflector if you would please. I don't want to start another
chain reaction.

 

Now I have a decision to make. Do I go back to the 10 meter contest, or open
the Elecraft box. At 150 Q's, I'm thinking the box. Parts sorting is, to me
anyway, one of the fun things to building kits.

 

Thanks again Elecraft, New life and new radio. Can't get much better.

 

Merry Christmas & Happy New Year again to All.
