[Elecraft] Another really good reason to come to the Visailia DX convention this weekend...

[Ron Wilcox]

I was lucky when I put in my 240v for my kenwood 922 a couple of years ago,
a very good friend is a licensed electrician, would not let me pay him very
much, it always pays to be nice to everyone you know

Today is a good day to have a Great Day!
