[Elecraft] KX1 Mojo a-go-go

I used a DMM, a QRP wattmeter, dummy load, power supply, ruler, and a 
piece of wire for an indoor antenna through an antenna tuner. I also 
checked out the KX1 signal with another receiver. If you homebrew stuff, 
you probably have the tools that you need. You will need a cutter that 
can do a good flush cut for building the KX1.
