Wes,
First of all, congratulations on the completion and first QSO - you will
remember that for a long time!
Jim K4ZM saved my bacon more than once on my KX1, so I am glad to hear
of his continuing help.

I have just finished construction of K1 #2183 and put it on the air
for the first time. My first QSO was with IZ7ENJ on 20 meters using a
G5RV. I got a 559 report from him. Quite a thrill to have the first
contact with the K1! I've just got to become more familiar and
comfortable with the menus now.
A special thanks to Jim K4ZM who helped me focus and find a couple of
mistakes I made. I also got some very helpful advice from Elecraft on
a couple small issues. I lost one small part and Elecraft was quick
to get it in the mail to me.
Overall, I enjoyed the construction. Quite different from the
Heathkit Twoer I built back in 1967!
I am on 40, 30, 20, and 15 right now and will be hoping to make many
contacts in the days ahead. I also plan to order another filter board
for the K1 so that I can work 80 and 17 meters as well.
