[Elecraft] East Coast Service

[Pete Smith N4ZR]

Fair comments.  I had assumed that such a technician might be paid on a 
per-unit basis, or a percentage of the service bill.  Stocking of parts 
might be a real problem, but even if the tech had to order the parts 
from W'ville, the turnaround would have to be better
