I just saw an announcement on the Elecraft list that they will have a 
booth at the Raleigh, NC hamfest. Perhaps you know something they don't. 
Or vice versa.

BTW -- you mentioned several times you face these decisions with your 
business. What sort of business is it?  Related to ham radio? 
Professional, industrial, or retail?  FWIW, I made my living for about 
ten years selling pro audio to broadcasters, and the last 25 years of my 
professional life as a design consultant for sound systems for public 
buildings. I don't consider myself an expert on sales or marketing, but 
I have at least some appreciation of it. That time in sales was all 
direct contact with my clients, mostly the chiel engineers of radio and 
TV stations, but also guys in similar capacities in the A/V departments 
of major corporations.
