John,
Pay attention to the soldering. If you are not 'solder skilled', check
out the soldering tutorial at the Elecraft website.
Do a good job of stripping and tinning the leads of the toroids. The
'solder blob' method works best IMHO.
Before you begin, take note of any errata sheets and mark up your manual
with the changes.
Follow the instructions in the order printed. If you do not understand
any step, take a break and ask here on the reflector - there are many
here who can answer your questions quickly.
Work carefully and take your time, you will be rewarded with a great
transceiver.
The usual cautions about 'do not work when you are tired or frustrated'
apply.
73,

Howdy, I new to amateur radio. Just received a K1 kit to build.
This is my first kit. After I get it built and get going I plan
to only operate with CW on 15 & 40 meters.
Any words of wisdom are welcome.
