[Elecraft] DAMN YOU ELECRAFT!

[Eric]

I swore I was going GREEN for SKN. All green. You know, Heathkit. 

After a few hours with my Heathkit CW Twins getting clobbered by stations a KHz away, I thought what could it hurt?  I don't have to TELL anyone I'm using an AF-1. So I hooked it up. 

But no, it wasn't enough.  It sat there, across the room--its dark, lifeless LCD mocking me. The operating ease. The selectivity.  The blinking lights.  NR. NB.  Knowing exactly what frequency it was on.  No tuning. No spotting. 

The K-line would not leave me alone.  

I gave in. I'm weak. Human. I had no chance against its siren call.  The K-Line. As natural with a 50 year-old Vibroplex as it is with a keyer. Ahhhhh...
