[Elecraft] Seeking comments on Ham Expo from participants

[Jay Rutherford]

Greetings all,

I only watched Eric and Wayne's presentations, visited the Elecraft booth, and that was about it. I didn't care about prizes or competitions. I found the format initially interesting, but it didn't hold me for other than Elecraft's booth. 

I thought Wayne's presentation was personal and detailed. The 3D design of the KX2 was particularly interesting, as was learning about the Sketchup software. Definitely gotta play with that.  Although I'll never be in the market for a K4 (KX4 maybe), Eric's talk was informative, well done, and it was nice that it ended at 30 minutes.

Suggestion for improvement: make the presentations, many of which were pre-recorded, available any time. I suspect the technology is able to do that, except for the live questions "phoned" in. It took me a few days to find Wayne's talk on the KX2, as I was busy during the announced times on the weekend.

I MUCH prefer a live event, but given the constraints we are under, think this an acceptable substitute.
