[Elecraft] FB FD TNX 2 K2

All:
 
I have a feeling I'm not the only one who had an outstanding FD thanks to  the
Elecraft K2.  I for one have about the puniest signal anywhere thanks  to an
all-too-common lack of real estate to erect proper antennas.   Nonetheless, I
absolutely love Field Day.  Like many people these days, I have more  than 
one rig to choose from as my FD radio.  Yes, I have an Orion and could  drag
an IC-756PRO (no, not the PROII) out of mothballs if I cared to, but I  love 
the
way that I can operate the K2 with one hand (without having to fly across 
several feet of front panel and navigate several layers of menus).   Plus, 
after
many, many turns of the A/B switch, I have concluded that my K2 can hear 
ANYTHING any of the other radios can hear.  Since I built it myself, I  even
ran through the alignments again just before FD began.  What a waste  of time;
it was still perfectly tuned.  
 
Kudos to Wayne, Eric, and all the folks at Elecraft that make it possible  for
slobs like me to wish they hadn't wasted their money on other (i.e.,  non-
Elecraft) radios.
