[Elecraft] W3FPR

[Don Wilhelm]

It was my pleasure to be at Frostfest.  I thank those who regularly 
organize the Elecraft booth at that event.  I did meet many friends that 
I have corresponded with via email and several that I have never met 
before.  The entire experience was wonderful.  Again, thank you to Tom, 
Willy, Rob and Bill for planning and operating the Elecraft booth at 
Frostfest.  I plan to do it again next year.

73,
Don W3FPR

They don't drop by to complain but praise both the radios and the company. And the representatives such as Don, Eric and Wayne. Where else can you post a question on the reflector and get an answer quickly and from one of the owners or the programmer himself.

Those folks are 'locals' in the Richmond, VA area while I had a 2 1/2 hour drive to get there.  I arrived shortly after the gates opened.  But I do thank those loyal locals who man the volunteer Elecraft booth at Frostfest year after year.
