[Elecraft] THE FUTURE OF OUR HOBBY

[Ted Edwards W3TB]

Yet, here is another product idea that is driven by my concern that so many
new Techs get an HT and don't develop further into our fine hobby/avocation.
A Transceiver more significant than a Chinese cheapie for getting on other
modes in the VHF and/or UHF bands.
I do wish there were a quality-yet-simple radio for 6m/2m would be so handy
to them to discover SSB and Digital work on those bands.  CW, too.
