[Elecraft] Don Wilhelm A Special Thank You!

Years ago, Don transformed my ebay "bargain" K2 (SN 567) into the dynamite little rig it still is today. It's still my primary rig. Thanks, Don. Eric KE6US On 3/29/2013 9:56 AM, Phil LaMarche wrote: Every day I see Don helping other Elecraft hams. He is a blessing for many. Just received my

Don is a gem... and we are all lucky to benefit from his experience, knowledge, and expertise. Particularly when it comes to advice and his willingness to do repair work on Elecraft gear on our behalf, should any of us lack his talents and resources. Bravo, Don! Hip, hip. 73 de Ray K

I would also like to add my thanks. Don made the difference on both of my Elecraft projects, a KX1 and a K2/10. His experience guided me through a problem on my K2 and helped me fix it. He also did a great job aligning my K2. I always get good audio from my signal reports. 73's and thanks agai

I have been looking for an opportunity to sing Don's praises, so I can't let this thread go without saying something. I have never had the benefit of any service work or personal advice from Don - unfortunately, my K2 kit went together without any problems and has worked flawlessly ever since :

I have, likewise, been looking for the same opportunity. I would venture to guess that there is no one, maybe not even the K2 designers, who know the K2 as well as Don does. When my KPA100 would not put out power anymore, Don diagnosed it to the capacitor which needs replacing, and I was able t

I certainly concur with the plaudits for Don...well deserved. I can't help feeling that we shouldn't overlook the fact that there are others who also provide valuable knowledge and adviceW4TV comes to mind...KE7X...and certainly N6KR. I don't mean to slight others whom I have failed to menti
