My wife, son and I were on the London tube system when the bombers struck
yesterday. We were near two of the incidents (near Victoria Station). I had
my Yaesu VX-6R with me, with continuous receive from 500 KHz to 999 MHz. As
soon as we were able to receive, I was able to tune in to London
I am now in Ireland; just worked several stations on 20M and 30M CW with my KX1
at 3 watts. Having a ball! Will be in Ireland till Thursday, then QRV London
for three days.

Elecraft was represented at the Indianapolis Hamfest on Saturday by Rich
Meiss (WB9LPU), Wayne Reed (K9NE), and me. We had a great location just
inside the front door of the AIR-CONDITIONED building. (It hit 90
degrees Saturday.) Lots of people came by the booth. We gave out all

I was at a cabin at Deep Creek Lake in Western Maryland over the past weekend;
no way to get on the Internet until today. I ran my KX1, at first on internal
batteries, then from my car battery. Antenna was a 42-foot wire thrown up in a
pine tree, with a 16-foot counterpoise. Included in 35
Regarding my dah-dit-dah-dit... K2 keyer problem: Thanks for the
suggestion to replace my antenna with a dummy load. However, the
problem turned out to be related to my PSK interface. I recently (10-15
days ago) replaced the computer I was using with my PSK interface (a
Rigblaster Nomic). Since
I have K2 #4650, which has worked flawlessly for about three months. I have
had several hundred QSOs, mainly CW, and have used all bands. I almost always
run 5 watts. Today, a weird phenomenon raised its head. On 17M, I finished a
QSO with an Italian station, and everything was working
I am happy to announce that K2 serial 4650 is on the air.
I want to thank Jerry McCarthy (wa2dkg) for his help in building the unit. His
workmanship is outstanding.
I am totally blown away by the quality of the receiver.
The K2 joins my KX1 number 742. Hmmm, looks like Elecraft is
I agree that The Plug by Koss are acceptable earbuds. They are rated
at 110 db. I wear hearing aids, so need the best I can find. If anyone
knows about any earbuds better than the Koss ones, I'd appreciate
hearing about it. (Pun intended.)
BTW, worked Antarctica from Indianapolis on the KX1
I have also noticed somewhat reduced sensitivity on 20M, but sort of
expected that.
Into a 50 ohm dummy load, and into 1.0-1.1 SWR antennas, I get about
3.3-3.5 watts out on 40M, 4 watts on 30M, and 3.0 watts on 20M. Have
re-aligned...get the same. Is this typical?
I didn't experience any
...My question is how do I make the paddles less sensitive to touch. I
find that the left side (dits) is very sensitive, and at one point, it
started sending dits all on its own. I have squeezed the wires inside
down as close to the PC board as they can be, but that didn't help. The
right side of
KX1 #742 is on the air.
