[Elecraft] K-Line Climate Control

[Dave Sublette]

Is this some sort of a spoof?  You can't be serious.  Putting beautiful
equipment like this into the weather(not quite, but almost) is poor
engineering practice at least and at most, a felony.  If you insist on
doing this, sell your Elecraft stuff and buy one of the other three
imported brands, but don't expect to get any repair service when it breaks
from environmental abuse.

End of soapbox rant, for now.
