[Elecraft] K1 problems and questions!

[Stuart Rohre]

Hi all,
For folks living near a salt water environment, do not overlook the possible
accumulation of salt upon dielectric insulators lowering the power of the
circuit.  This could happen in the K2, if you do not have air conditioned
shack, or it could happen driving an outdoor antenna, if the salt air got to
the plastic or ceramic insulators of an antenna.  I have had to wash off
outside insulators at beach portable locations when this happened.
Especially bad on days when you have a wind blowing in from off shore.
