[Elecraft] Young K2 Builder

Congratulations! But I don't think you're the youngest to build an
Elecraft radio. Last year we were hearing on this reflector about a K2
school project which I think was a high-school aged group. Someone on
this list will know for sure.

W2CVZ completed his K1 when he was 11 years old. Yes, I know, the K1
is much simpler than the K2.

We're all fortunate that age doesn't matter in amateur radio.
