[Elecraft] abject buffoonery

[Don Wilhelm]

Brendon,

While there are a few whose on-the-air behavior is offensive, I have 
found that all the hams I deal with on a regular basis in the process of 
repairing Elecraft legacy gear are decent and honest.
I have cordial email and sometimes phone exchanges with customers, and 
they are always gentlemanly.  I have been repairing gear for Elecraft 
owners of those now legacy transceivers since 2004 and have never had a 
problem with payment for my services and communications with those 
owners has always been quite pleasant.
Perhaps Elecraft owners are an 'elite' group, but for my part I find 
that most hams are quite the gentlemen.
There are exceptions, but I believe they are in the minority.  When 
those exceptions do appear, they seem to 'take the stage' - I count the 
"UP cops" and some of the conversations on 75 meter SSB or AM as some of 
those exceptions.

Like they say "A few bad apples ..."

73,
Don W3FPR
