Well friends, just finished K1 #1669!! Yippee! Actually finished her in
record time. Did the 4 band filter board last PM 1 1/2hr and the whole K1
today, about 8hr!! No problems with the build except for a bad headphone
jack. 

When I finished the K1, had good audio with headphones, but no audio from
the speaker. Found out that the jack was defective, in fact it had come
apart into two pieces and the back half of the jack was still in one of the
plastic bags. I only figured it out after staring at the jack on the PCB for
5min and realizing that there were three holes behind the jack not filled!

Now on to the ATU and I'm set for next weeks Flight of the Bumblebees, I'll
be QRV as KQ9L/BB #131, hope to work some of you!
