[Elecraft] K2 #6951 "It's Alive!"

[John Fritze]

After several years of sitting in the cabinets of my shack, I decided to
put my wife's K2 together.  She decided that she is too busy with work,
studying for a masters in computer programming, and social obligations in
general that there just isn't enough time.  I think it is because at "xx"
years old it's hard for her to see the parts.  So, number 6951 is now
completed.  Although it is a 15W version, it does have the SSB, DSB, NB,
ATU, internal battery and IO board options.

It took about 2 1/2 weeks of off and on evenings and weekends to complete.
 It all works great which is a testament to the folks who wrote the
manuals.  Only one missing part (out of thousands): a RF choke for the I/O
board which even during Dayton, I received a confirmation from Elecraft
service will be shipped on Monday.  First test contact: Venezuela 10W to a
vertical on 20M SSB.

So we are now a 2 K2 family or is that K2-squared?  Oh, and a K3, P3,
KPA500, KAT500, KX3, KXPA100.............got to love that purple Kool Aide.
