[Elecraft] Where have all the K2s Gone?

[David Wilburn]

Still have K2, 5982 on the table.  Need to get back and play with it. 
  I want to setup a vertical loop as a second antenna, so I can run 
both the K2 and K3 at the same time.  But first I need to build a new 
launcher.  Wrist-rocket bit the dust.

Picked up a o'scope earlier in the summer, and want to go back and do 
some poking and prodding with the K2.  But it has been at least 20 
years since I had RF and o'scopes connected, and the equipment used to 
do that was real expensive.  I need to sort out how I am going to do 
that.  But all in due time.
