[Elecraft] warranty

[Dave Sublette]

Not trying to stir up controversy, but I looked at

https://www.bbb.org/us/wy/jackson/profile/mailing-services/pirate-ship-1296-1000088099/complaints

My take on it is you save money, but if anything goes awry, good luck.

Then  again, ANY insurance claim with ANY carrier has been a hassle for me
over the years.

I'm not taking sides here.  Just be sure you know what is involved before
you commit to ship.

73,

Dave, K4TO
