[Elecraft] Want My K-2 Back

[James Walker]

Thanks Wayne. You and Eric are too kind. Sadly, the years have taken their toll on my ambitious youth. I’m less patient these days, and far from as steady of hand as I was then. Perhaps my efforts to reunite with my K2 are a last gasp to hold on to my memories of a 16 year old kid with a new novice license. Wow! That’s lot of baggage to heap on a lowly K2. Maybe fate will lead me to the radio. Anyway, I couldn’t build a new one now, even if you threw a KPA1500 into the deal. BUT, if I do find the radio, how about I bring it to Dayton and collect those signatures. The Dayton booth is where I bought my lost K-2.  And if experience is any guide, I’ll buy a KX2 while I’m there.

Thanks for being a friend to me and all of us Elecraft enthusiasts.

Jimmy, WA4ILO
