[Elecraft] Young K2 Builder

[Robert Allbright]

Hi Merlin M0TRX
congrats and good luck
I built my K2 #5219 a couple of years ago at age 61 (I feel like 25  
though!)
I remember back in 1966 at age 21, building a Heathkit RA1 hambands  
only rx, I spent 30 hours,
continuous, all night in my room at the YMCA, Portsmouth, building it  
and apart from a very minor
error, it worked first time. A few days later, I smuggled it into the  
local MOD establishment, where I
worked and thoroughly checked out the alignment with the help of  
Mort, G2JL (then G3JZV)
I'm not particularly interested in going on the air much, prefer  
experimenting
and always hope to improve my cw, and like operating the K2 from car.
Building and operating my K2 has been by far my best experience in  
Amateur Radio.
thanks to Elecraft and the great people on this reflector.
