[Elecraft] K2 Number K6

[Wyn Hughes]

Pure fluke. The numeral "8" is considered lucky by some in older Chinese
culture, much of which still exists here. Conversely, "4" is not so good,
many buildings here have all floors ending in "-4" omitted, in the floor
numbering system.

Co-incidentally, my phone extension ends in "68" as is my (GW) house
number - but my birthday is on the 13th, again less than auspicious! My best
ever Hong Kong QTH was on the 13th floor, worked lots of serious 160 dx with
a top fed 1/4 wave vertical, but my xyl wanted to move to a lower apartment.
Hence my need for a K2 and /P.

Cheers,
Wyn, VR2AX
