[Elecraft] New K1 on the air!

[Sandy, W5TVW]

Have been pleased with mine since I had it!  I do HOPE you installed the
LCD backlight kit?  I just did an outdoor contest since I put mine in and
it is REALLY nice.  No more squinting or flashlights to read the dial at
night or poor light!  The receiver noise floor is Waaaaay down there!
Sounds like it is a crystal set almost until you connect the antenna!
Good radio.

| Hello fellow Elecraftsmen -
|
| I finished aligning my K1-4 #2146 tonight and before I could get the speaker wired up and the
cabinet bolted together I had a nice QSO with N5PHT in Texas for my maiden voyage QSO.
|
| I AM IMPRESSED WITH THE RECEIVER!!!   I was worried that my daily use of my K2 would spoil me for
any other radio.  The K1 is no slouch.
|
| I can hardly wait to try it out on 40M under contest conditions.
|
| One of the first database programs I ever saw on a home computer was called WHATSIT?
|
| It stood for WOW!  How'd All That Stuff Get In There?.
|
| So my K1 has now been Christened "The Whatsit".
|
| 73 and hope to QNI the Elecraft Net one of these days.
