While I don't doubt that you're successfully using these, I previously 
looked into these supplies and find the claim that they are made in 
California to be highly questionable. At the least, I don't see where 
the products are marked "Made in USA" nor does it say this anywhere that 
I can find on their web site. They refer to copies as "offshore clones" 
and so on, but no where do they refer to their own supplies as made 
here. Selling 30A supplies for $50 full of hand inserted through hole 
components, it seems frankly impossible that they are manufactured using 
California labor.

If you have information to the contrary, please post as I'd love to be 
wrong. Since we all own Elecraft gear, I'm guessing that many have the 
same strong preference for USA made products that I do.
