[Elecraft] Bad Ham Radio Day

[Fred Jensen]

Glad you got it working.  I've assumed that, since the K2 is a kit in 
which you build the case with pieces around the electronics, it is 
really important that they all bond well.  Especially true at 100 W.

Yes, Jim's research and publications are the go-to source for 
ferrite/chokes/baluns/transformers, and he is sometimes referred to as 
"The Reverend" around the NorCal clubs.  He is also a hands down expert 
in the audio world and in the realm of grounding/bonding.  His website 
[k9yc.com] also provides some gastronomical information as well as 
reflections on jazz. 😉
