While I can’t go in on the KPA100/KAT100 project (I hope it gets fully funded by the time I could do something towards it), can I, I dunno, send him a good straight key (not to mention welcome him to the Straight Key Century Club)? Does he have a computer he can run something like the G4FON code trainer on?

While I’m not a wounded warrior, nor for that matter anyone particularly special, I, too, had a group of folks gift me Elecraft gear several years ago, in the name of my now deceased, though still much loved, first guide dog, Karl. Alan/1HYV, builder of a ton of kits, was the guy that built mine, and Don, W3FPR, recently helped me with some repairs that it needed last year. And I, too, want to give back, but it’ll be a couple weeks.
