I have been looking for an opportunity to sing Don's praises, so I can't let
this thread go without saying something. I have never had the benefit of any
service work or personal advice from Don - unfortunately, my K2 kit went
together without any problems and has worked flawlessly ever since :
I'd like to not just to thank Don, but to praise him for his help on my KX1
and to both thank and praise him for his helpful comments on the elecraft
reflectors. When I see Don's name as the author of a post, it becomes a
"must-read" comment. Why? You always learn something when Don speaks.
