I would like to see 1/4, 1/2, and 3/4 width versions of EC2 cases and maybe
5/8, 3/4, and 7/8 width versions of EC1 cases.  This would allow one to put a
much greater variety of K1/K2 companion pieces in matching kit boxes that do
not have to be as large as the the full case.  it would only require cutting
and drilling different width top and bottom pieces as the sides and
hardware/fasteners would be the same.  But for now, if I need one, I will just
have to cut it myself.

I also would also love to see a sanctioned 10, 12, and 160m band kit for the
K1.  I was able to get a parts substitution list for 160m, but I can't seem to
find anyone who has done a 12m or a 10m board.  But I imagine with all this
talk of the downward sunspot cycle if it hasn't been done already it is not
likely to be done any time soon.  6m would be fun too.

I know SSB has been done by I0CG, but I think an AM mod would be fun as well. 
But perhaps I have been reading too many old stories.  Perhaps I should go by a
Viking Ranger on eBay and be happy.

Not sure if any of these things would "sell like hotcakes", but they would be
fun.  Perhaps that's just wishful thinking.  Perhaps I should just hunker down
and do one or two fo them myself and quit whining.  :-)
