[Elecraft] Too much of a good thing is just fine

[Gary Smith]

Ted et al,

The first step is understanding you have no addiction.

The second step is acknowledging your have a dedicated avocation.

You could be forever buying non-working lottery tickets with what you 
spend but instead you are wisely constructing something tangible that 
is useful and with that dedication, you're making quality items from 
quality materials and assembled in a Quality Controlled environment. 

So here's an idea for what you can do with what otherwise would be 
superfluous by duplication, Elecraft equipment: Contact your local 
ham club, do you have an auction or better yet, a hamfest? No? Is 
there one local enough, that would do. Now go and talk to the powers 
that be and offer your time and assembly skills with them buying the 
kit in mind and raffling it off. If it flies as it likely will, they 
may want to do the same again the following year. And then you get to 
build for free.

Win Win & Easy Peasy

Cheers & 73,

Gary
