[Elecraft] SMK-1, and a sideways congratulations note

[Steve]

As I constructed my KX1... It just seemed to beg for some SMT components,
particularly the bypass caps... In several places, a 1206 sized component
would have fit better than the leaded part!  And it seemed the hole spacing
would even lend itself to the installation of an SMT device....

It just got me to thinking.  I wonder if I could rework mine?  

73,

Thanks for all the responses, guys.  The rig was spoken for within minutes
of my post.  Elecrafters are FAST on the keyboards!  

I hope to work the little NorCal rig again soon, this time on the other end.
And, I hope that Elecraft decides to make surface-mount kits sometime, too.
