This didn't appear in my latest digest, so resending.

I am now QRV on 5280kHz CW using a home brew VXO rig and 5W.  
Receiver is a converter feeding my FT101ZD at 28MHz, but I could 
equally use the K2.  The station is working well, and getting good 
results with my long wire.  Current licence restrictions mean we 
cannot work non UK NOV stations crossband.

So my urgency for the K2 60m kit is no longer there - I may consider 
it when (or if) it is released but it is no longer a delaying issue.

Good luck to the ARRL in their negotiations for the release of the 
band in the USA.
