[Elecraft] K2 Serial 906 returns...

[Frank Krozel]

OK, got to share with you folks a new one for me.

Many of you know that I love to trade radios.
Someday.. I may even trade off s/n 5702, which is a K2/100 but.. not just yet for that much wanted KX3...

Today, I got an opportunity to purchase another K2.  I was told that the guy worked for Motorola and was the original owner (by the guy I got it from).
Lo and behold… I got my first and original K2 back.  
I recall every minute of building it!
I did not even open up the radio, I know that radio as if I built it today.
Oh, according to Madeline …. I built it February 2000.
S/N 906 is back on the desk…..

Fingers crossed… I keyed it into a dummy, still… 12 watts on 10.116 (I keep records)
It gets better… I tried to see what was programmed in it for MSG 1-9, guess what…. It still .. .had my CQ in it with my call!! in MSG 1

So.. on the air it goes.. I am listening to on 10.116 if anyone wants to “drop by” today...
