[Elecraft] A helpful review...

[Guy Olinger K2AV]

I had a nastier response which I decided to deep six since it was Sunday.

But just one thing, if one went into Macy's and started hanging up Belk's
posters, how would that be received? Rude, stupid, trespassing, illegal,
what? I wonder if the same post also went to the Kenwood and Yaesu
reflectors or it was just us that were "blessed"?

My RELIABLE (caps intended) source of dope on new rigs comes from other
PVRC (Potomac Valley Radio Club) membership who in contesting tend to use
the rigs harshly. This is often discussed on the PVRC reflector, where no
one expects commentary to center on any particular brand or age of rig. I
have found the aggregate experience of PVRC folk on rigs to be accurate in
the extreme, with never a pulled punch, particularly in the range of
reactions to a given rig, where the RANGE of reaction is highly
informative.  I also get to go visit and try the rigs out if I want. We
also have one soul on that reflector who rarely keeps a rig more than three
months, and that running soap opera is pretty informative.

Personally, I don't need Icom information here, don't want Icom information
here, not trusting of Icom information here since some of it is obviously
trolling. I have a really good place to get such if I want, that isn't
hanging Belk's posters in Macy's. Here, I'm mostly looking for Elecraft
owners that need some help off line.

73, Guy.
