[Bill Rowlett]

Jerry, wish them to fail, NO WAY. Just look back to all the other people who have been successful in ham radio, but it did not last. 
 
Jim, small market, yes, very small. The big three rice box boys do not live by ham radio alone. They each do other things to make ends meet. Time will tell if Elecraft can make it in the long run on radio alone. I wish them luck and hope they do.
