[Elecraft] Fire report

[Ed W0YK]

For all of you with K4 orders, I can imagine how frustrating the wait is.  As a fortunate field tester for a couple months now, the radio exceeds even my informed expectations.  As a K4 focus team member over the last 4+ years, I continue to be pleasantly surprised with its actual performance and features.In the WW RTTY contest last weekend, its exceptional handling of high-QRM continues to be striking.  The clarity of the desired signal and overall audio quality far exceeds any radio I've used.Eric, Wayne and the entire Elecraft team continue to positively persevere despite the pandemic,  horrendous fires and other personal trauma that 2020 provides.  They sincerely appreciate the support and patience extended by you.73,Ed W0YK

Meanwhile, I can give you an update on California's book-of-Job fires. The newest fires (in counties north of the Bay Area) have impacted two additional members of our K4 engineering team. One was poised for evacuation as of last night, and the other may have lost his home. Fortunately both of them and their families are safe.We're doing everything we can to help. Roads, housing, and supplies are severely impacted throughout the area. The prevailing winds are blowing smoke from these fires south, and on bad days the rest of us are sheltering indoors with windows closed. It hit near 100 F at my QTH each of the last two days, despite being only a mile from the bay and 15 miles from the ocean.I know I sound like a broken record with these gloomy reports, and I'm sure I speak for our entire staff in thanking you for your patience. (Anyone know when is 2020 going to end?)73,WayneN6KR> On Sep 29, 2020, at 7:55 AM, htash <thorntonash at comcast.net> wrote:> > So, tomorrow is the last day of September, will we get a new shipping update?> >> On Sep 24, 2020, at 12:09 PM, thornton ash <thorntonash at comcast.net> wrote:>> >> Given we were only days away from shipping several weeks ago, how about an update?>> >> Fires, documentation, etc?> ______________________________________________________________Elecraft mailing listHome: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraftHelp: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htmPost: mailto:Elecraft at mailman.qth.netThis list hosted by: http://www.qsl.netPlease help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.htmlMessage delivered to ed at w0yk.com
