K1-4, KAT1 serial 2269 is now complete and calibrated.

This would have been a lot more difficult without the great people on this forum and great support from Gary at Elecraft.

I hooked up a 100' wire stretched across a couple of low trees to see how the KAT1 tunes up.
3.6 to 1 on 40m
2.6 to 1 on 30m
1.8 to 1 on 20m
1.5 to 1 on 15m
I don't know if I should expect better SWR on 40m and 30m but I'm not too worried about it right now.

I will be moving into my new house in a month and will be putting up a better (stealth unfortunately) antenna. Also I am still working on my code and haven't had my first HF QSO yet. So, great things to come.

Thanks again,

73
