Hi,

First of all, I would like to thanks Elecraft and his fabulous team that give us memorable moments building their kits !!! It's the first time in my life I have so much fun and desire to do something.... even on a beautiful sunny day !!! ;-)

And YES !!! Finally K2 #4130 is on the air in SSB !!! I made my first real QSO yesterday. I receive only excellent comments. I'm using my Kenwood hand microphone that I receive with my TS-2000. It's not a desk mike but everybody told me that my audio was excellent.... it's not only the mic, it's my K2 also. :-)

I transmit at about 13W. I receive very good quality report. I also got a better report than someone transmitting with 100W with a so so antenna !!!

I'm using a vertical V antenna on 80M, well calibrated with my MFJ-259B... so no antenna tuner is necessary between 3.750 to 3.790.

I'm very surprised of the perfromance and people comments. When you hear people telling those comments about something you build and using.... you can't feel better !!! ... and even when it's your first time building project !!!


73 and hope to hear you soon Elecraft folks !!!
