No matter what the product or service for my business or for my pleasure I go out of my way to support and recommend those that provide me with good value for my money because I want them around in the future.
Besides, I have found that pessimism is only a short cut to unhappiness. 73 Ron AC7AC -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Bruce Beford Sent: Sunday, May 19, 2013 5:35 PM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: [Elecraft] Elecraft Hats at Dayton? Agreed. I enjoy helping out at the Elecraft booth at every New England ARRL Convention. I always take time during the weekend to answer any questions I can for prospective buyers. I try not to exaggerate or sugar-coat. I give my opinions and relay my experience. I explain why Elecraft products have a prominent role in my station, having tried many different radios. My station is not exclusively Elecraft, but I do have now, and have had, many of their products. I have built, owned and repaired the entire product line, at one time or another. It's not about drinking the Kool-Aid. Many of you are probably too young to remember the true history of that reference anyway; (Jonestown, Guyana, 1978). (For me), volunteering at the Elecraft booth is about sharing your experiences with others, and letting them make their own judgments. Answering questions honestly, and saying "I don't know", when that's the case. I do it to help share my experience, if anyone should ask. It's a small way of "giving back", and helping other's make their own informed decisions.
