[Elecraft] K2 good for exposing kids to electronics?

[John Huggins]

Both eh?  Well not yet anyways.  However, you have a good point about 
winding toroids and other elements of building a kit.

I loved building Heathkits and know I can do this. but more importantly, 
this is an opportunity to do this with my 12 year old son.

He needs to know that squeezing a coil changes things and this is one 
fine opportunity to expose him don't you think?

Obviously I would be building the kit, but he could help.
