[Elecraft] My K2 is unbelievable!

[Gary D Krause]

Hi Greg,

It think there is a lot to that.  I use to tell my art students that creating 
a painting or drawing entailed the aritst putting part of himself or herself 
into it.  I think the K2 mojo is the same thing.  I guess that means I could 
never sell it, not that I want to, becuause, it just won't work for anyone 
else. :-)  By the way, mine is #6113.

Gary, N7HTS
