[Elecraft] WD6DBM Builds for the Cycle

[Doug Person]

I can relate to that.  A few weeks ago I had a complicated spinal 
procedure performed.  Recovery is a slow process and the outcome will 
not be clear for a few more weeks.  Last weekend the proper solution to 
my post-operative doldrums solidified in my head and I quickly ordered a 
K3 kit along with a KAT3 and KPA3.  While not quite as absorbing as a K2 
build, it is well suited to the brain being slowed by the powerful pain 
control needed to otherwise maintain one's sanity.

This morning I have cleared space on my desk and just now begin the 
assembly of K3 #3294.  My last K3 was #77.  It will be interesting to 
see what has changed some 3200+ units later.

73,

Doug -- K0DXV

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.
