Elecraft K3: Waiting, waiting...

...and waiting some more. Elecraft began shipping the K3 in mid-November. Serial #117 was shipped on Nov. 27; it was ordered on May 1. I placed my order on May 4 via the Elecraft web site and sent a 50% deposit check the following day, yet as of today (Dec. 1) I have not heard anything from the Elecraft sales dept. regarding my balance due, much less the expected ship date. So I'm checking the email every day hoping to find the magic email from Aptos telling me my radios ready to go.

Meanwhile I have to endure such torture as this:



Oh, the agony...

The nicest thing anyone has said to me all week:

Dear Paul,

Attached is a copy of your K3 invoice for your confirmation. Your order will be shipping within the next 7-10 days.
