[Elecraft] East Coast Service

[Doug Turnbull]

Dear OMs and YLs,
     I live in EI but also have roots in New England.    Just returned my
KPA1500 for service - probably the finals.   TG I have two of this fine
amp.    I sent it to CA rather than Italy as the real knowledge base is at
the mother ship.    Using UPS it took three days to arrive.    If living in
States again and having a choice it would probably still go to CA.   If in
the same State then sure I would drive to the repair centre.   Distances on
the east coast can be significant.

     We are all different but for me the mothership is where I want my
Elecraft radios to go.   That is the centre of knowledge and expertise for
the big E.   My two cents and not worth anything these days.    I see your
point as well.
