[Elecraft] Serial Number Check for Elecraft gear

[Milverton M. Swire via Elecraft]

Dick, there are no excuse for being dishonest, Period! 
The great majority of Operators on this and other forums are honest law abiding citizens.However, make no mistake! There are Operators out there who know just as much about these radios as you and I.  And! Are as crooked as a $3.00 bill. 
Wanna place a small wager of a Snicker Bar, that the  culprit who stole that radio at Dayton over the Weekend is a Ham Operator.

 If someone steals your radio, the thief is only partially to blame.

Not a criticism, but a comment:  I think I understand what you are driving at, but this strikes a nerve. The thief is totally to blame!  We need to get rid of the 'partially-to-blame' attitudes in our society.  While I grew up, there were no shades of gray when it came to honesty.  We have let ourselves be brainwashed.  (The thieves could also be gleaning info from the reflector.)

Dick, n0ce
