I can relate to that. A few weeks ago I had a complicated spinal procedure performed. Recovery is a slow process and the outcome will not be clear for a few more weeks. Last weekend the proper solution to my post-operative doldrums solidified in my head and I quickly ordered a K3 kit along with a KAT3 and KPA3. While not quite as absorbing as a K2 build, it is well suited to the brain being slowed by the powerful pain control needed to otherwise maintain one's sanity.
This morning I have cleared space on my desk and just now begin the assembly of K3 #3294. My last K3 was #77. It will be interesting to see what has changed some 3200+ units later. 73, Doug -- K0DXV eric norris wrote: > I bought my first Elecraft kit, a KX1, at Pacificon last October.
