[Elecraft] Safari 4 +2

[Petr Ourednik]

Many thanks for posting this, Bruce. It is a nice addition to my document collection.

We can realize here how the Koala is highly mysterious and secret as even Wayne and Eric did not use it on a pic in their slides. hi
I believe that both are still in Wayne's hands and probably no one built another one based on the QEX article...
So, these units will be missing in collection.

btw Did you notice on the slide in the presentation the K1 jewelry with serial number 0001? What a hell collection piece!
