[Elecraft] K3S New Builder (Tom NB5Q)

[John Stengrevics]

HI Tom,

I, like you, chose to get back into ham radio after many years by building the K3S.

Don suggestions are right on the money.  Follow the instructions to the letter.

I made 3 small errors, all found with the help of Elecraft tech support, and I think with Don’s help as well.  I attribute the errors to trying to work too late into the night.  So, don’t try to overdo and don’t rush it.

73,

John
