[Elecraft] Greetings!

[Larry Makoski]

Ron,

Build it yourself!  Just a suggestion; but you'd be missing a major part 
of the experience if you farmed it out. (no offense to the fine Hams who 
do build Elecraft rigs for others).  Just a personal story.  I have two 
kids, aged three and four; and I built my K2 when they were aged two and 
three.  I worked on it in the evenings after they were in bed.  I bought 
the kit in February of last year and started it in March.  Putting in 
maybe two hours a night when I got the chance, I finished the rig in 
July. Oh, yes, there were many distractions and evenings (and even 
weeks!) that I could not put in any time on it.  But, hey, it's not a 
race and you don't have to get it done in one weekend or a week.  
Patience and perserverence pay off; and you can build a K2 even with a 
busy schedule like mine!

73 es good luck!
