Stan Elkins KK4SI Talks the Talk and Walks the Walk

Post by K4ICL »

Every now an then I meet a ham who takes the spirit of helping other hams to heart.

For several days, I posted an ad looking for a crystal filter to replace one taken out of a Heathkit receiver by its previous owner. For days no response. I was about to give up on the quest when I received an email from Stan Elkins KK4SI telling me he was sending me the filter I needed.

We communicated the shipping details and Stan changed his mind. He decided to send the whole chassis of the receiver he had so I would have other parts in the future. Then he added another working receiver, an SB-300, to the list of things he was sending.

He shipped both receivers at his expense and when I offered to pay for shipping he asked, instead, that I make a donation to QTH.com to help keep this site up and running. This has been done.

Walk up to Stan Elkins, KK4SI, and shake his hand for me when you see him.

Cheers,

AL
