Can't get anyone to talk to me yet but alignment went fine and I know it's transmitting cuz I can hear it on my Kenwood HT. My only complaint is about the installation of a couple of those last transformers. There are components on the bottom of the board that make it all but impossible to solder one or two of the leads. Seems like a slight change in the order of installing some of the parts would be helpful. Next up is the final assembly, then start on the KPA100 while I find a bigger power supply. I don't know if the gang at Elecraft realizes the full scope of effect of their products. I got back into ham radio this year after 20 years purely because I stumbled onto an Elecraft ad in CQ magazine and got excited about building a radio again. That's testimony enough to the benefits of their products, but then last month I got the urge to drop a QSL card in the mail to a guy I "mentored" back when we were both in eighth grade in 1973. He got his ticket a few months after I got mine. I told him my new callsign and invited him to get ahold of me. He got the card and sent me an email and we're back in touch for the first time in 25 years. Thank you, Elecraft!
