Over the past year of lurking and taking in all the info I could from
this newsgroup, one person has continued to stand out when it comes to
helpful advice and troubleshooting skills.
After the first sign of problems with my K2 this evening accompanied by
the panic and fear of never stroking the antenna with RF again, I
realized that I would need to contact Don Wilhelm, W3FPR.
I have emailed Don many times in the past few months, always receiving
helpful advice but with my panic level at a state that touched my wife
as well, I took a leap of faith and called Don.
Not only was he gracious enough to not object to my intrusion on his
personal time, he also spent close to a half hour chatting with me and
leading me to the obvious problem that I should have discovered for
myself. ( did I mention the panic )
It is not surprising that an Engineer of his level of expertise would
have little trouble with this radio, but what is surprising is his
commitment to all of us who own Elecraft's
Thanks Don, I doubt you will ever receive your just rewards for your
thankless service to all of us on this reflector, but I would like to
tell you how much your contribution means and I am sure that I am not
alone in my debt to you.
