I suppose it's time to fess up that K2 #2556 is now working. I feel sort of
guilty that it has taken so long. Everyone else seems to be up and running
in a few weeks, but I have been fussing around on this since March. Had a cw
QSO with KB2NB in Trenton NJ, on 40 meters using a piece of wire poked up a
tree for an antenna. Since Trenton is only 27 miles from here, it hardly
qualifies as a record - but I was mighty glad of that contact anyway.

Regardless of how long it took to get set up, I am very pleased with my K2
and look forward to cramming a few more modules into it (probably will be
the gel battery option next, as I would like to try operating away from
home).
