This was slightly tongue in cheek as I remembered that, but i've seen a whole lot of people yelling about K1's lately. If older equipment was good, then we'd all be using AC1's... I'm now going to see how many remember that particular transmitter. On Sun, Apr 28, 2024, 10:35 PM Mark Musick

Paul, I think I can answer your question. The simple answer is no. The reason Elecraft discontinued the K1 was because of unobtainable components. If I remember correctly, obtaining sheet metal was even a problem. You might be able to copy the K1 with a major redesign, but why when you have the

Since I know Wayne and Eric both watch this reflector as well as many of the staff, this is a serious question. Could you rebuild or build a copy of the K1 today?? Paul KB9AVO On Sun, Apr 28, 2024, 5:51 PM Paul Huff wrote: > My wife gave me a K1 kit for a combination Christmas and birthday

My wife gave me a K1 kit for a combination Christmas and birthday gift in 2003.  After about 33 hours of super fun construction, it made its first QSO on 2/29/2004.  Some 2037 QSOs later it was "retired" to a shelf, after making its last (for me) QSO in May 2018.  It was an absolutely

Good Evening,    Spring is progressing.  I finally saw the hummingbird which is emptying the feeder.  I also saw a doe with a yearling eating their way across the new undergrowth.  Their winter coats make them quite visible.  They were back again today.  Then the doe found a dry spot under a
