Congratulations Oskar!
Well K1-4 serial number 1485 is following close behind here at this QTH.
I finished up the transmitter section last night and all seemd to tune up
FB.
I am hoping to complete basic construction this comming weekend,
then it will be on to the KAT1 auto tuner.
Should be QRS, QRP real soon.
Maybe we will QSO!
