[Elecraft] K4 Shipping Delay

[Terry Brown]

I am one of those far down the list in the first shipping group.  When I read the notice from Eric and Wayne, about the new shipment dates for the K4,  I was reminded of a comment from my builder a year and a half ago when our new house was about 4 months behind schedule.  

He said, we could have finished your house on time but it would have been finished by subcontractors who don’t provide the quality we insist on.  Besides, and this is the important part regarding the K4, he said, “ I know you are frustrated,  but the day you move in and can begin to enjoy the quality of your home as long as you live here, the delay won’t mean anything.”

He was absolutely right.   When I walk around my new home and look at how well it’s made and the incredible quality of the finish work, the delay is meaningless.   We all who are anxiously awaiting the K4, will feel the same way once it arrives at our homes.    Besides, it will be a better more refined radio in May than it would have been if shipped now.
