[OKDXA] Elecraft Repair

[N5OK]

Jeff,

I think they are shorthanded right now.  I've sent my K3 in but it wasn't
very expensive.  The KPA500 was also a very inexpensive repair.  I just
hope they are able to stay in business.  I'm also worried about SteppIR.
They are short staffed as well.  The other antenna companies are hard to
get a response from as well unless you are wanting to buy an antenna that
they have in stock.  They are having problems getting aluminum.

Can't speak to the 101d but it looks good.
