[Elecraft] Dayton Dropoff

[G4GNX]

Hi Eric.

I'm sure there's no need to apologise, but actually it's Scott (the OP) 
who wanted to transport a rig, not me.

My comment was merely to illustrate that Scott's request was unlikely to 
be fulfilled and certainly was not a complaint.

I fully accept your reasons for not transporting customers' goods to and 
from Dayton and I'm quite happy with the current arrangement I have for 
collecting my Elecraft order.

On my own behalf, thank you for your attention, which is one of the 
reasons I'm glad that I use Elecraft products.

73,

Alan. G4GNX
