[Elecraft] taking the plunge

It doesn't matter which you build first, you're likely to build both in the
end!

The K2 seemed straightforward to build but does need quality spare time to
assemble. I took a week off work, I guess the assembly time is around 40
hours, that includes a few hours listening on 40m part way through
construction. The K1 isn't in the same league, but is excellent for portable
work and I take mine rather than the K2 due to size and weight - that even
applies to hotel stays when away on business. Oddly enough, the K1 seemed to
need more care to align than the K2...

K1 #1154, K2 #1892
