[Elecraft] WTB: K4

[Gary Memory]

Obviously time to deliver is getting shorter as time progresses.  I waited
a good year-plus.  Others have waited much more.

My wife (also a Ham) decided a K4, plus a few bits and bob accessories, was
to be my retirement gift.

When my K4 did finally arrive, all I could do was giggle at stellar
performance I’ve never personally owned.  I’ve worked a full career using
very expensive pro HF gear, and my K4 certainly ranks up there.

Gary, N7BRJ
