That's fine for K2 builders, but it wasn't much help with a K1 since they
don't tune that high on 20 and 15 with the optional 80 kc band spread. I
stuck a 14.060 mc crystal I had left over from converting a Rock-Mite 20 to
15m and it worked fine, though I didn't measure the output to see how much
Very nice. Thanks for the URL, Bob.
I haven't been back to K2USA since 1985. I understand that since then the
rhombic has been let go to seed. The poles are overgrown with vines and I
believe some of the wires are broken. What a shame. It was a highlight of my
ham life to use that thing. I
I was just at Lowe's looking for black plugs for the holes in the back panel
of a K2. I hate unfilled holes...it looks kind of cheesey to me. They had
quite an assortment, but nothing to fit the rear. Might be worth a look for
the mic hole.
My K2 already has the mic jack installed. I'm looking
I haven't done it, Ron. Looks like a recipe for disaster, though, depending
on what field means. If it means operating in the backyard on the patio
furniture with the XYL trotting out beer, it might be OK. Operating in the
RAIN, in a TENT, at NIGHT from Pulpit Rock..., not so much. The

Many corporate customers want to include forums for their group to discuss

Paul is a walking advertisement for the KX1LITERALLY. I heard him all
over 20m for the 3 hours that I operated and he was ALWAYS one of the
strongest QRP stations here in So Cal...559 to 599. Amazing! A fine op, too.
Thanks for the QSO, Paul.

Not only that, but a DHL truck cut me off on the freeway last week and my
girlfriend says their drivers don't look as good in shorts as UPS.
Definitely a pattern here.

I looked for the Polar Bears too from here in So Cal. I heard that stuck
dits transmission right on top of 14.060 and I worked a K2 in NJ who was
running a RockMite so I'm not sure why I couldn't hear the Polar Bears on
20m.
It was a great disappointment to me. It had to be one of the most

No idea how it works. In their photo gallery, they show it with a K2.
I like the idea, but I don't like being stuck with their idea of a
paddle/keyer. Maybe there is some IR TX/RX out there that could be used.
Finally got my K1 on the air today. First contact with NJ2OM working FYBO (I
didn't feel guilty with my 72 degree exchanges against his 41F), then half a
dozen other FYBO'ers and mobiles on the County Hunter's CW Net (14.0565). I
always wondered what the big deal was with Elecraft rigs. Now I
