[Elecraft] K4 Update?

[Don Wilhelm]

Yes, much of the world is shut down, including Elecraft where employees 
are under a shelter-in-place directive.  Many are working from home, so 
phone messages may not be answered in the normal time - email is the 
best communications media right now.  Updates to the website may be a 
lower priority than other concerns to keep things going.

After this COVID-19 threat passes, things may slowly get back to normal, 
but I don't expect it in the next few weeks, maybe months.  Support your 
First Responders and the medical professionals working hard for the 
benefit of all those who need help and hope they can get the protective 
gear that they desperately need to continue on their jobs safely.

Be patient and stay safe.  Spend some time on the air - that can keep 
you in touch with ham friends and provide relief from 'cabin fever'. 
The airwaves do not carry the virus.

Here in North Carolina, bars and restaurants are restricted to takeout 
and delivery, and we are voluntarily sequestered at home with ham radio, 
TV movies and books to read.  Many hams are in the age group that is 
high risk group as we are.
