[Elecraft] Good to see Elecraft at Sea-Pac

[Jim Lowman]

The crowds are typical.  Since last year, I've been to Dayton, 
Pacificon, IDXC/Visalia and now SeaPac, and that's what one will see.

Good to see Lisa, as always.  I'm surprised that she doesn't get 
writer's cramp from taking so many orders.

For as great as the TS-990 seems to be, I've yet to see a crowd gathered 
around it, even when it was new.

Good convention.  My first time here.

P.S.  You're reopening a can of worms from Dayton last year, bringing up 
the issue of Elecraft charging for the hats.

Manufacturers like Yaesu and Icom can afford to give away hats.  They 
probably cost them $2 in quantity, and they have large advertising 
budgets.  Also, they are cheaply-made in comparison to the ones that 
Elecraft sells.
