[Elecraft] knob

[Kevin Rock]

I thought they were sharp at first too.  I tune either with my left thumb 
or with my right forefinger.  I pitched a baseball so much as a teenager 
my forefinger is curved.  Helped me throw a wicked slider in my day but 
now it is just bent.  This has helped my K2's tuning knob gain a patina 
and lose its sharp edges.  I've thought of the broccoli bands but never 
quite gotten around to it.  I eat enough of my cruciform veggies but have 
grown to like my K2 the way it is ;)
    73,
       Kevin.  (Net Op Without a Clue)

P.S.  South Dakota would be a nice catch for the net :)
