[Elecraft] Early Production K1's

[Bill Johnson]

That's a neat radio.  I owned one for a short while and then fell for the KX1 and on and on.   I couldn't get Wayne and Eric into me being an FT for the K4, but then I rarely do digital and occasional CW.  I love QRP and QRO SSB.  

72 & 73,

FT’er for K2, KX1, KX3, KXPA100,  KAT500, W2, etc.

I have K1’s 78 and 52, built a long, long time ago. Still percolating perfectly. Never had any problems. Used no. 78 in Field Day without nary a hiccup.
