[Elecraft] K1 - # 2793 is on the air!

[K Price]

Just wanted to thank everyone for helping me get this great radio built.  I also wanted to thank those involved with the Nabble site.  I have used it several times to save myself some headaches.  This includes last night when I was about to cut the trace on they KAT1.  Thankfully the documentation didn't match the board so it made me stop and wonder.  A quick search of Nabble and once again I had not read the directions completely.

Anyway, building a K1 has been a goal of mine for a long time.  I started with some very small (cheap) kits to build up my confidence.  Compared to the documentation in other kits I can see why everyone brags on the Elecraft manuals.  The only times I messed up (which were several) it was not due to the document.  Rather, it was me skipping a step or not reading the entire step before soldering.  

Not sure what I will build next but I feel certain another Elecraft rig will be on my desk.


Listen for K1 #2793 on 40, 30, 20 or 17 meters!

He has showed you, O man, what is good. 
   And what does the LORD require of you? 
   To act justly and to love mercy 
   and to walk humbly with your God.
