Congratulations David,
For those of us who build, there is nothing quite like the thrill of seeing
something we have built come to life for the first time! I hope to hear

So here I am with three hours to wait until my plane boards. I tried a set
of Bluetooth Sony noise cancelling headphones. Big mistake. They're
great.
$300.00 is too much for me. What other models are in use with Elecraft

We were putting up a 2 element Moxon for 40M this week and I ran over a
Bumblebee nest. Two of them got me before I bailed out and left the

I should start with an apology to the group. Although I stand by what I

I can think of a couple of things where my ham radio experience blends with

I have used my K2 with a DEMI 2M transverter board in it to drive
transverters from 902 through 10368 MHz for many years. When I used it to
drive both 902 and 903 MHz portions of that band, the output was very much
lower when 29MHz was in use for 903. I can't say whether it was due to the
