Hey Chris, On my older hollowstate stuff, I usually spray a quantity into a small cup and then use a q-tip to apply deoxit to areas in a controlled manner. That might not make as big a difference on newer equipment, but I was always told it was a good idea around phenolic tube sockets. GL and

These days and times, yes... back when I bought the first one it was $300 from Fair Radio. I paid more for the CY-979A cabinets, the CV-591A SSB converter and the accompanying LS-206U. That said, it took a fair chunk o'change to get the radio back into shape. Spare modules in good working

Hey everyone, more of a beginner question here and not [directly] Elecraft related. I have a K2 I built some time ago that I paired with a half size g5rv. At the time, I was living with a buddy whose house design allowed me to set that antenna up as a sloper (and it worked quite well). That

I too was overly careful when I built my K2 back around 2006 or so. That's not to say I didn't make mistakes :D. I did, however, take some advice to heart when assembling it (I believe it came from the website or the manual), in that for a section, I would add all the components, bending their

I built my K2 with an old Weller TC-202 I have here; it's my "go to" iron for most of my projects. That iron was "gifted" to me after serving hard time at the local community college. It's not super pretty, but it still works and well at that. You would be hard pressed to find a better deal IMO.
