[Elecraft] K2 On The Air!

[Robert G Strickland]

Congratulations, Mark...

The K2 is a wonderful radio, all the way from bags of parts to your 
first on-the-air QSO. IMHO, it is one the historic radios in the history 
of amateur radio. You may own or someday buy a "state-of-the-art" radio 
but such a rig will never replace that spot in your heart for your K2. 
Have fun.
