[Elecraft] WD6DBM Builds for the Cycle

[eric norris]

I bought my first Elecraft kit, a KX1, at Pacificon last October.  I was frankly astonished by that little radio.  It was a total joy to build (and operate), a feeling I had not had since the Heathkit days.  Madness soon followed, along with the biggest selloff of ham gear (and other gear) since my college days when I struggled to pay the rent.  I built a nearly fully optioned K3 along with an XV-144.  That wasn't nearly enough fun so I built a fully-optioned QRP K2, interspersed with pile of mini-module kits.  

Tonight I finished my fully-optioned K1 

The K1 was built while in the throes of gallbladder attacks and while recovering from gallbladder surgery on Vicodin, a testament as to how easy it is to build and align.  Why, it even works.
  
I did take a short break while actually in surgery.
  
Thank you, Elecraft!
