I used a manual typewriter until I got a Selectric that was in use until 1999. Never had a VW Bus but I had a 1953 VW Bug and later a 1963 Bug that I did several engine rebuilds and a 12V conversion but sold it in 1986 before it fell apart. K2 old? Mine is the newest rig on the shelf, just beating out my ICOM IC-2820 VHF/UHF rig. I don't get to use the K2 much any more after moving from the house with 13 - count 'em - 13 antennas (2 HF ones) to an apartment with only a porch-mounted mag-loop for HF - at least I got to have my VHF/UHF j-poles and ground-planes, only after the very grunting acceptance of the property owners after I played my "emergency communication" card. 73 de K2ASP - Phil Kane Elecraft K2/100 s/n 5402 >From a Clearing in the Silicon Forest Beaverton (Washington County) Oregon ______________________________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:Elecraft@mailman.qth.net This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html
