Thank you I've built a K2 in the past so I figured a K1 would be a fun rig to build (for me much of the fun is in building). 40 is typically good here but I also see less on 30. The bright side is that I can always buy another filter board.

So here is a paste of it . FWIW- and I had concluded exactly your first line . The guy who just was talking about 80 and MUF has some thoughts dunno - here in Phoenix - ther are quite a few W6 guys to chew the fat with inthe winter - but summers are just no fun.. Guess I live in a 30 meter hole - Most times I find nothing on 30 other than special event or DXpedition stations and the W0ERE 2 watt beacon . Once in a while a random rag chew . Yes almost always some digital but we are talking CW I think . Then big pileups on a DX station and it all goes away when the DX quits . Contrast that to 40 Cw and virtually always something to work. So I would suggest if you have a receiver - listen to 30 and 40 and 20 at the times you will mostly operate and see whats best in your area. RE the 200 watts ???? On the P3 I have watched guys turn on their amps - once I sent "turn off ur amp" and got a HI HI back . Just saying --- 73 Hank K7HP ______________________________________________________________ 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 Message delivered to [email protected]
