[Elecraft] K1 #3224 ON THE AIR

[Bill Frantz]

There is something very satisfying about making QSOs with a 
piece of equipment you built from a kit. I just managed a New 
Hampshire to Croatia QSO on 20M PSK using a 5W radio built from 
a kit and a home brew 20M wire beam. I am grinning from ear to 
ear. Imagine how it would feel if you had designed the radio 
yourself. I envy Wayne, Eric and the rest of the Elecraft staff.

Cheers - Bill, AE6JV
