I would have to put my vote in for Elecraft K3
I also like the idea of new technology such as teh Flex radio's.

** Hello,
**
**
**
** I am on the board of directors and treasurer of the Green Country Hamfest
** and we are in the process of planning next years hamfest and are
** considering
** what type of prize we should have as the first, second and third grand
** prizes.  So I have come to the experts for your opinion.  For the last
** several years since Icom has had a display of all of their radios we have
** given Icom prizes exclusively.  Since Icom was not here last year and we
** do
** not have any commit for this year we are considering other brands.  What
** would you like to see as door prizes?  Two rigs that have been suggested
** are
** Ten-Tec and Elecraaft.  Which would you prefer and which model?  If you
** were
** not planning on attending, would something this expensive make you attend
** as
** opposed to something like a Yeasu FT-897?  So what would you look for in
** prizes when considering cost vs. appeal?
**
**
**
** So there you have it.  I hope you can provide some useful and realistic
** suggestion and discussion.  Thanks.

** The Elecraft K3 (100 watt version).  Or at least a Kenwood TS-2000.

** I don't know what your budget is, but, you might also consider the Flex
** SDR's and even some SoftRock kits for hourly drawings.
**
** If I wasn't coming, I would come for a chance at a Flex-5000.
**    <...drool...>  :)
**
** I think prizes are an opportunity to get some technology out there that
** one
** normally wouldn't buy so things such as new features, new bands, new modes
** (WSPR with a soft-rock) are things that generate activity on the bands.
**
** I always like to see a rig with VHF capabilities.  BTW, Leonids should be
** good this year and are coming up soon.
