[Elecraft] Seeking comments on Ham Expo from participants

[Wes]

Not that I care, but I never figured out how one played the game.  Part of the 
abysmal navigation I suppose.  With on exception, that I "walked out of", the 
presentations that I viewed were very good to excellent.  I watched many of them 
after-the-fact.

Two of the presenters are personal friends and fellow DX club members.  Although 
we've argued about it in the past, one has convinced me and I've been dragged, 
kicking and screaming over to the dark side and have started using FT8.  To tie 
this to Elecraft, as I was operating last night, and I mentioned this to my 
better half, I thought why would I want to replace my K3S, which now sits on 
fixed frequencies, with a K4 with bells and whistles?
