[Elecraft] Want My K-2 Back

[hawley, charles j jr]

I get it. I’ve told the story before, but again, I took 10 years to build my K2 that I bought in ‘99. I started it, got delayed by an addition to the house and a move of the shack. I documented all the mods and readjusted the assembly instructions over 9 years so that when it was finished, it worked well, and didn’t require any resoldering. I’ve had a chance to sell it, but it’s family.
I can’t sell it.
I’ve thought about building a new one...it was a great experience!
