[Elecraft] Rough CW Note - Problem/Solution

[Mike Harris]

G'day John,

| During last night's Spartan Sprint I got a report from a friend that my 
CW signal was 597 with poor tone.  He said it had an AC
| power sound.

| Turned out I have an older high intensity light within 6 inches from the 
side of the K2.  Turning off the lamp cured the problem.

Did your K2 have the VCO shield mod?  I might just be putting my K2 in the 
vicinity of a QRO linear with a big lump of a transformer in the near 
future.

Regards,
