Aha! I do recall responding to a query on their website about whether they
should continue to provide shortwave broadcasting in this era of internet
radio. 

To answer the question previously asked, that's a homebrew superhet sitting
above the K2. It was a "test bed" project that I created to explore receiver
design issues such as mixer configurations, ladder filter design and AGC
systems. It's also a pretty decent CW receiver for station use. I had
originally planned a matching transmitter, but work interrupted me for
several years and the next thing I knew there was a K2/100 in my future <G>.


Thanks for the link, Frank!
