We got together and bought Carl WA3SEE a K1 kit as a retirement present. He spent the rainy/windy days caused by Hurricane Irene building it, with a few missing capacitors and a bad xtal slowing him down a bit. But it worked fine on the bench.
Yesterday, Carl and I hike the Appalachian Trail in MD with the K1 and operated from Lamb's Knoll, an official "summit" as defined by the http://www.sota.org.uk/ Summit on the Air folks. A blog post with more detail can be found http://security.typepad.com/internet_security_be_care/2011/09/biking-carrolls-hills-summitting-on-the-air-from-the-knoll-of-a-lamb.html here . As a satisfied K3 user, I was really impressed with the K1. Compared to past QRP rigs, the receiver was just soooo quiet and sharp. 73, John K3TN -- View this message in context: http://elecraft.365791.n2.nabble.com/K1-K1-in-the-Wild-SOTA-Expedition-tp6808133p6808133.html Sent from the Elecraft mailing list archive at Nabble.com. ______________________________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:[email protected] This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html
