Elecraft a house hold name? Not so! Only a few months ago when I mentioned that I had bought an Elecraft K3 at a club meeting I would say that half of the group had a blank "what?" look. only a few knew of the K3 and only a few more had even heard of Elecraft. Elecraft does not advertise in The Canadian Amateur, our national magazine here ( Eric, hint Hint). I think that there are many Canadian hams that have never heard of Elecraft.
