What is its weighting?

Ran 5w with my K2 and wire antennas during the sprint. 100 Q's, 35
states/provinces, a bit more than 3 hours. A good time was had by
all.

Just got back to Tulsa from Ozarkcon 2005 in Joplin.
Great two days of QRP fun.

Looks like stencils will help with SMD soldering. Even double sided
boards.

Howdy Folks,
First off thanks for the fun on QRPTTF today. Pat and I taught the
last session of ARECC level 3 and drove home. Got a sandwich on the way
and stopped near downtown Buxton. I met up with my cohort with my rig and
gear to hook up with his two rigs and sundry other bits of gear
I am hoping someone can direct me to a problem that just showed up in my
K1, Ser. 844.
I have the four band filter, antenna tuner and noise blanker. The radio
has always worked. Perfect. Every time from the minute I completed it
until today when I decided to give it a try. I have been negl
Before I solder the board in my K2...
My thermistor in my K2 PLL upgrade looks deformed (with a hole in it's
side?)
is it supposed to look like this?

The wx channel showed no rain before I went out, but when I got there the

I live it with lots of noise. But I did not get the NB for my K1 which is
only used in the field where it is so quiet I sometimes think my radio has
died.
I'd say, get it without the NB and add it later if the noise in you

My perspective is probably in a minority here, but here goes.
I didn't buy a K2 because I like building kits. I do a lot of building
and experimenting, and I want to use my time and skills to create new
things, not assemble kits. I bought my used K2 on ebay because I can
work on it. I have do

Hi Mike,
Thanks for your detailed input on the K2. I personally have built 2 of them,
the first in 2001 and the 2nd a couple of months ago sn 4618.
I agree 100% with you about the Rx being wonderful, but even in the current
revised K2s, needs some refinement, mostly getting rid of the many Rx s

Hello,
I plan on operating the QRPTTF 2005 from a railroad on the Appalachian
Trail today. The weather forecast is rain and a chance of thunderstorms so I
am not sure how long I will be out on the trail.
