Been a while since K1 #78 left the assembly line here at K7FD. So it was with great joy that I received KX-1 #959 from Santa! Tonight saw the first alignment test...and a big smile! I guess it goes without saying you get more than just a radio when you build an Elecraft... Having adopted a 'qrp

I decided to use a fully adjustable mini camera tripod for using the KX1 in the shack. The tripod only stands 3 inches tall or so and it's plenty stable enough for in-shack use...and looks very slick. The KX1 now sports a perfect 45 deg angle and sets on there like a masterpiece painting. My
