[Elecraft] K4 in production

[Rick NK7I]

"The plan" was to get a tilt tower, so I don't have to climb and that 
works great.

I also pre-paid for the KPA1500 and then once it arrived had to wait (2 
years) for the shack to be built (else no 240V).  I don't regret this 
because Elecraft HAS the reputation for being the best at product and 
service; they understand much better than the other brands.

No one has a guarantee to tomorrow, but there are signs of hope around.

73,
Rick NK7I
