[Elecraft] K-1 4-bander suggestions?

[Randy Moore]

My Elmer gave me the Novice exam in 1961. Then a guy in a near-by town (I think he had to be an Extra) gave me the Conditional General test the next year. I don't remember taking a code test for that, but surely it was required???  

Then in 1968, just before graduating from college, I figured I knew as much about electronics as I ever would (I was right about that), I took the Extra exam at a federal building in Jackson, MS. The examiner required me to pass, in sequence, all of the code speed tests.  I got the impression he was expecting me to fail, but CW was my thing and I think I got 100% copy on all of them. I remember him looking up at me after grading the 20 wpm test and smiling. I was very proud of my Extra ticket. My call back then was WA5ALL.
