[Elecraft] KX1 #2374 On the air.

[k6tt]

After thinking about if for almost a year, and recently playing with one
again at the Visalia IDXC, I bought a KX1, with the tuner and 30/80 option. 

I received the box Friday morning and made the first QSO tonight. Took me
about 15 hours of work to build the basic KX1 (#2374), I still need to
assemble the tuner & 30/80 but the basic radio worked perfected after I
completed it. 

I was very impressed with the loud audio on both 20 & 40... I didn't even
have a good antenna attached when I did the initial recv tune up, I just
used a piece of scrap wire and I was copying stations 500+ miles away. I was
thrilled. 

After completing the transmitter, I wired up a hand key and started banging
out a CQ with only about 25% power... (1W) and on the third call I had a
response from a local. Anyway, don't know enough about the rig to comment on
much else yet, but so far I'm extremely happy and now not sure why I waited
so long.
