[Elecraft] VLF/LF Converters

[WE0H]

I am one of those 600m stations, WD2XSH/16. Currently building my K2 and
after that, a new 7mc IF transverter to get the K2 down on 600 meters. I
currently run a 3mc IF transverter and my TS-930. CW coverage for my station
is pretty much the whole lower 48 states & into Canada. I have been on the
air for a year or so now. The band is 505-510kc but most hang out in the
505-508kc area to avoid the NDB's on 510kc.
