Hi folks, This is my first posting to this reflector as I'm about to jump into the world of Elecraft and QRP. I looked at several of the kits that are available as well as straight homebrew and decided that the basic K1 was the way to go. I ordered the 2-band 80m/40m version and it should arrive here tomorrow. I'll let you know how it goes. 73 de Ed KQ1R
