Extreme happy dance!

Larry Makoski W2LJ
I am doing my best imitation of Calvin (from Calvin and Hobbes fame) dancing around the house in a quite ecstatic manner.  K2 sn# 4090 is complete and has made it's maiden voyage!  A QSO with W4USR on 40 meters got my new radio's feet wet!

Thank you Eric and Wayne and to everyone at Elecraft for one totally awesome and enjoyable building experience!

Congratulations. I'm afraid #4355 took a bit longer to get working. It
took a full day of troubleshooting (gotta love being a ham in a
community with lots of T&M equipment) to figure out that RFC15 was open.

Then, my crummy antenna kept my signal out of other people's receivers.
Answered 6 CQ's before Paul, KC7NBM, finally heard me. QSB got him and
I'm not sure he heard his RST. So it may or may not have counted as a
contact. :)

OK, time for the add-ons: 60M, 160M, SSB, NB, and the KPA100.
