[Elecraft] KX1 Miracle Story

[kx8xx]

This past February at the Traverse City Michigan swap and shop I bought a fully optioned KX1 in a tough weather proof case.Today at the Cadillac Michigan swap I was chatting with one of the sellers who turned out to have the factory original box (matching serial number sticker on the box) which contained all the original manuals and leftover parts from the upgrades, cover letter from the company, and so forth!Turns out the original builder, S.K. now, was the ham who checked my QSL cards submitted for my 6m W.A.S. ARRL certification many years ago.Now this radio has deep roots indeed.Thanks for a very cool radio, Elecraft!73Mark kx8xx
