Lloyd:
Well I will be using a brand spanking new K2 this evening! Please give me
a holler if you hear it. Haven't had a brand new one for a long time.
Someone had already mostly assembled it, but it needed considerable
technical work and a LOT of TLC to be set right. Dick W0NTA worked on it
for a couple of weeks. He had to order a couple of hundred bucks' plus
worth of parts from Elecraft, set the filtres, etc.and then sent it to me.
It arrived two evenings ago. Gotta tell ya, it is simply FABULOUS in every
way. The receiver is simply fabulous and the CW filtres are just perfect
to my taste. So....I am rarin' to go [g].
Now if only the conditions will cooperate for a change! Oh, and I will be
using one of the W5GI so-called "mystery antennas" as an inverted vee with
the centre up only 30' or so. That will also be brand new, so my fingers
(and toes!) are crossed, let me tell ya!
Good luck everyone for both pelts tonite. I have missed a whole bunch of
them this summer, some due to calendar conflicts, but some due to poor
conditions. Let's all hope for GREAT condx for a change. And for LLOYD
and ET, let's hope both of them set personal records!
73,
--Doc/K0EVZ

Yes, I'll be your next-to-last Fox tomorrow night
from 0100-0230Z on 20M, between 14.050-14.070. I'll be
working split as long as possible or necessary. If
there is QRM, I probably won't move if I can help it,
but I will listen both ABOVE and BELOW my frequency
for Hounds. You can find all the details at:
see you there,
LL/K3ESE
