I can't argue with your preferences. The K1 is a fine rig, I'm sure. I have a Wilderness Sierra (Wayne Burdick's predecessor to the K1), and I enjoy making QSO's with it. However, when I hear a KW contest station on 80 meters working from a country or zone that I need, I call with my big rig and amp. To use the Sierra under these conditions would be a foolish waste of time. I like having the option of varying my power from about 3 dB below 5 watts to about 21 dB above 5 watts. 73, Chuck NI0C _______________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Post to: Elecraft@mailman.qth.net You must be a subscriber to post to the list.
