[Elecraft] sometimes, it's good to see smoke!

[Lloyd Lachow]

  Let's say you've been trekking through deep snow at
a high elevation, cold and tired. Hungry, too. You're
heading for a hut, not sure you're on the right trail.
Then, suddenly - there it is! And, coming out of the
stovepipe - smoke! Good smoke.

  Or you arrive at the annual picnic, to find all your
friends, a freshly tapped keg of Fuller's ESB...and
the delicious aroma of a hawg slowly cooking in the
smoker, which is emitting clouds of fragrant, good
smoke.

  But...lets pretend you're building a K2, and it's
time for Alignment and Test, Part I...smoke is about
the last thing you'd want to see, right?

   Well, there I was, last night, about to do that
very thing. I pushed the button, and - no smoke. This
was a wonderful thing! And such a pretty display! As
the relays sang their clicking song of welcome, I
thought: I'm gonna love this rig, but it'll be tough
to say goodbye to building it.
