[Elecraft] K4, Spouse, Retirement, Burning Fascination

[Leroy Buller]

Ok, I told myself yesterday when the K4 leaked in a deluge of emails, that
I was not going to get excited.   After all, I am a K3 owner serial 443.
This radio has been far beyond...great.  i can crank out cw QSOs with the
very basic K3.  The Elecraft experience has been superb and superlative.  I
loved my K2 too.  But, no way i could get a K4 because of the money
involved.

You see, i do not see rigs as investments.  I see them like having a
classic car.  I just want it.  But alas, i am retired.  Money is not tight,
just earmarked for certain things.  K4 is not one.

Now, i am flummoxed with a burning facination as to how i can obtain one of
these K4 Dream Machines.

I had to plant the seed of buying one with my Spouse and she wanted to see
how it looked.  I showed her the picture and said, "lots of buttons."  😁

Now, i see a glimmer of hope.

Long live The Wizards of Elecraft.

All Hail Prince Erik and Prince Wayne.
