[Elecraft] [K1] K1 SN 3142 is alive!

[Bob Molloy]

Hi,

 

With superior dexterity, perseverance, dumb luck, and a lot of help from Don
W3FPR my K1 is complete and working on 40 and 20 meters. This is my first
kit rig, my first QRP rig, and my first CW only rig. 

 

When I set out to buy a QRP rig, I looked at everything I could find on the
Web. What sold me on the K1 was the owner's manual, the fact that no
expensive test equipment was needed, and Elecraft's reputation. The K1 is
everything I hoped it would be and more. It's a true pleasure to be able to
build something this well designed. And it's made in the USA.

 

As the saying goes, "You may not be impressed that I built this radio, but
it impresses the hell out of me."

 

73,
