[Elecraft] K1 construction time?

[Cathy James]

I'd like to thank everyone who assisted in getting the K2 filters tuned 
up correctly.  The rig is working very well and has made many CW 
contacts as well as a couple of PSK contacts.

I'm thinking about building a K1 this winter with the intention of using 
it primarily for camping.  Right now I'm using a DSW-II-40 and Emtech 
ZM-2 tuner when camping, but that limits me to one band.  I really don't 
want to make a habit of taking the K2 into the field.  And of course any 
excuse to melt solder is good. :-)

What should I expect the build time of the K1 to be, given that I 
already have the experience of building a K2?

(The *real* challenge this winter will be building Steve's ATS-3A SMT 
kit.  My first significant SMT project...)
