[Elecraft] OT: BIZARRE OFFERING FROM MFJ

[Eric Swartz - WA6HHQ, Elecraft]

Folks - I just been made aware of the posting below.  I am very disappointed and distressed that this happened here. 

This extremely inappropriate and racist posting is in direct violation of the Elecraft list guidelines, and it is also in direct conflict with the Ethics we at Elecraft stand for.  Posts of this type involving both racial and/or direct attacks on others, regardless of where they are born or live, will not be tolerated here. Period.

As a side note, Martin, the owner of of MFJ, was born in and grew up in Mississippi. He earned his engineering degrees from Mississippi State University Bagley College of Engineering and also the Georgia Institute of Technology. I know Martin and he is an honorable hard working person with impeccable values who has our deepest respect. 

Ken, the list deserves a direct apology, as does Martin.
