[Elecraft] K2 #6358 Build Begins

[David Wilburn]

It certainly is a no compromise CW rig.  I have enjoyed mine and
continue to learn more and more about its capabilities as I continue to
put it through its paces.  Now if only my ability to copy CW would
increase in a proportional rate to my learning about the K2, I would be
in great shape.

I picked up the K2 to get a great CW rig.  The kit building was just a
means to an end.  But I ended up enjoying the kit building much more
than I planned, and have ended up a more knowledgeable ham as a result
of the experience and the wisdom shared by the folks on this list.
Enjoy, we look forward to hearing you on the net.  73
