I brought the CW rig for W8DC for FD, and found a KPA100 on eBay for what I considered a reasonable price, assembled, With a few parts from Elecraft (thanks, folks!) I managed to get it operational in time for FD -- and ONE result is that our chief CW op is now talking about selling a linear and buying a K2. The CW filters were perfect for working through the QRN as storms moved into Western Michigan. Even if we did have to pack up early Sunday.
It is a FUN radio.

The final test was FD 2010 operating from the Uncle Bill's Radio Club for Kids (UBRCK) field day site, under callsign NJ1E. The rig successfully logged more than 35+ contacts under the hand of several kids who were being exposed to Ham Radio for the first time. > > Needless to say, we weren't going for score.
