[Elecraft] ~2,450 K2's gone missing

Fri Jan 25 18:43:10 2002

I rarely encounter qsos these days, domestic or foreign, where I don't get 
some comment about the K2 that indicates the op knows what it is.  That's 
not to say that we should let the "information wall" down.  There are still 
those out there that don't.  But I am surprised how many do.

best wishes,
