[Elecraft] K4 Update?

[Dave Sublette]

As for my XYL and I, we are enjoying the opportunity to get off the
treadmill of the routine.  We are getting things done around the house that
we have not been able to get to.  I am really enjoying being on the air.
Also, I have a ton of projects on the bench and have been like a kid in the
candy store, going from one to another.

I second your thoughts about first responders.  If this is over responding
to the threat, then so be it.  It should result in cutting this off before
it gets started.

Stay well, stay safe.  See you on the air.

Dave, K4TO
