[Elecraft] K4 or K4D

[Bob Schwerdlin]

My situation is similar to Dave's.
I live on a suburban lot 70' x 140' but only have dipoles at the 
moment.  I purchased a K4F (base K4) and have no regrets.  Although I 
still have my FT-1000D and may try for SO2R at some point in the future, 
the base K4 is perfectly adequate.
