I have just finished construction of K1 #2183 and put it on the air for the
first time. My first QSO was with IZ7ENJ on 20 meters using a G5RV. I got
a 559 report from him. Quite a thrill to have the first contact with the
K1! I've just got to become more familiar and comfortable with the menus
now.
A special thanks to Jim K4ZM who helped me focus and find a couple of
mistakes I made. I also got some very helpful advice from Elecraft on a
couple small issues. I lost one small part and Elecraft was quick to get
it in the mail to me.
Overall, I enjoyed the construction. Quite different from the Heathkit
Twoer I built back in 1967!
I am on 40, 30, 20, and 15 right now and will be hoping to make many
contacts in the days ahead. I also plan to order another filter board for
the K1 so that I can work 80 and 17 meters as well.
