[Elecraft] K1 #1155

[Rod Adams]

Hi All,
        K1 #1155 is on the air! I finished(almost) aligning it yesterday =
afternoon but I have a problem, the best I can get out of it on 7, 10 & =
14MHZ is 4W. This is measured on an external meter(the internal meter =
says I get over 5W on these bands) however, I can only squeeze 2W out of =
it on 21MHZ.
        I'm happy with the 4W out and I could live with 2W out on 21 but =
I should be able to do better on 21MHZ. I've given the caps a twirl on =
14 and 21 but no improvement noted. Can anyone on the list help me =
please?
        To finish on a brighter note, my first qso on the K1 came before =
I had fitted all the covers. I was tuning around and heard K9FHJ calling =
CQ so I thought why not? Anyway, Perry and I had a nice qso on 14 MHZ, I =
was running 4W into a ground mounted vertical and Perry gave me a 549. =
This cheered me up somewhat as the distance is over 9000 miles.
                                                                         =
                                   73
                                                                         =
                                   Rod VK3CBO
