[Elecraft] So glad I asked

[Don Wilhelm]

I might add that "corrections" should not be interpreted as "flames"
The poster of corrections should not use "blaming" language, but instead 
  should be informative with substantiation for his "corrections".

I repeat, there are no "dumb" questions.  Anyone who posts a question 
has a need to know the answer, even if that answer needs to be "that is 
not possible" or "what you requested does not exist".

The best answers will give the poster places to look to solve his 
problem or provide him with additional information about why his 
question is not answerable.

73,
Don W3FPR
