Also consider: All day Friday and Saturday at Dayton, Eric and Wayne were standing there out in front of their booth, two guys engaging with a big and continual throng of hams and their hundreds of questions. From all directions, all kinds of subjects. They knew the answers and the subtleties, at whatever level of detail, just standing there, totally comfortable in this setting, obviously enjoying their time. It's because from out of their minds came the design, performance, operation of the K4. Maybe some other QRO radio manufacturers could do this; I suppose Art Collins did it. (I have seen Steve Weber, Hans Summers and Asher Farhan do it for their QRP radios.) In my mind, it's obviously relevant to, among other issues, performance and design choices and rationale, the look, feel and soul of the radio, logical upgrade paths, logical troubleshooting which will inevitably be required in the future as it is with any electronic equipment. The mental video loop of Eric and Wayne standing there with the crowd will stay in my memory, to be replayed pretty much every day when I run my Elecraft radios.
