[Elecraft] K1 Popular Bands

[Sandy]

I bought the K1 just after the 4 band board was introduced.  The choice of bands was
a wise
one as 40/30/20 meters active and an option for 17/15 on top band.  I chose 15 meters
as it is
more active generally and you need it for "Sprint" and any type of contest activity!

I work a lot of 80 meters and missed THAT band!  Recently, I opted to get a two band
RF board and modify it for 1.8 and 3.5 Mhz coverage.  Elecraft has all the parts
except the
crystal which I ordered from ICM.  "Next K1 project" will be another 2 band board for
maybe 17 and 10 meters (10 meters not being standard!)  If it works, I'll have 160-10
meter coverage except for 12 meter band.

Best QRP portable rig I have ever used for what's in it!

73,

| I'd be interested in an 80/40/20 meter K1, for Field Day.

| However, one thing that truly amazes me about Elecraft designs is the
| "add-on" ability, for accessories that didn't exist when the original product was
