This reflector has helped me on several occasions.  Most recently I got Don
Wilhelm's (W3FPR) name as a possible repair person.  I had an incomplete K2 (2
years uncompleted) which he completed, tested, and aligned at a cost which I
consider quite good and in a speedy manner.

I finally got some ham friends to help install a vertical antenna (I'm in a
wheelchair) and am now beginning to learn how to use the K2.  

My thanks to Don and others on this list who have offered help and advise with
problems as they occurred.

Re: OT: K2

As a K2 only owner I appreciate when the posters reference the equipment
they are posting about in the subject line (e.g. "K3"). This helps with
auto sorting.

I don't wear a watch because where I am is where I want to be.
I don't carry a cell phone because who I'm with is who I want to talk to...yep I'm retired!
