[Elecraft] Elecraft Support

[lmarion]

Maybe its just about the most fun I had as a QRP OP.  
Bought a  K2 that did not exist yet. 
Anxiously waited months for the bags of parts to build 
what I was sure was going to be the ultimate QRP kit of all time.
You worked with Wayne directly if you had a problem.
Now that I own the complete K-line and every radio Elecraft
has made, and most of the board kits,
the K2 experience was the most fun of my QRP days.
Thanks Elecraft for that.

Does anyone remember the good old days, back when the K2 was king, you 
would call support and would be routed to an engineer or perhaps in the 
case of the DSP2,  Lyle himself? I remember developing a real friendship 
with a guy out west, who worked from his home. Eventually we shared 
phone numbers. Or you would turn to the back of the K2 manual and there 
find the complete schematics and chapter 9, "Circuit Details"?  Yeah, I 
know, those were the days of thru-hole kits, solder smoke, and, "gee I 
wish I had not done that", when you lifted a trace and had to break out 
the blue wire to make things right again. Things were better 
then....those really were the good old days...things were more personal 
then.....
