[Elecraft] Elecraft K2/100 lives!!!

[Cortland Richmond]

I brought the CW rig for W8DC for FD, and found a KPA100 on eBay for what I
considered a reasonable price, assembled, With a few parts from Elecraft
(thanks, folks!) I managed to get it operational in time for FD -- and ONE
result is that our chief CW op is now talking about selling a linear and
buying a K2.  The CW filters were perfect for working through the QRN as
storms moved into Western Michigan. Even if we did have to pack up early
Sunday.

It is a FUN radio.

s/n 4276 lives!!! The final test was FD 2010 operating from the Uncle
Bill's Radio Club for Kids (UBRCK) field day site, under callsign NJ1E. The
rig successfully logged more than 35+ contacts under the hand of several
kids who were being exposed to Ham Radio for the first time.
