I hate to admit this, but I finally finished the KX1 I
purchased over a year and a half ago. I made good progress
in the beginning, then ran into a snag, so I decided to set
it aside for a while. That "while" turned out to be over a year.
At any rate, #577 is now live and on the air. Power output
(on 40m, at least) is pretty good at 3.5 - 3.8W with a 12V
DC supply.
My first contact was with WD0K last night, with the KX1
connected to my 40m dipole. What a rush it was to have him
answer my call!
After making that contact, I finished building the antenna
tuner, and my second contact this morning was with W0UE in
Missouri with the antenna tuner inline. Both stations gave
me a 559 report.
I've been a subscriber to this list for more than a year,
but now I feel like a *real* Elecrafter.
