K1 hint

Craig Smith
Just finished building K1 SN 2377, and it works great.  Worked several JAs
this AM on 40 from here in Colorado with just a BuddiPole vertical.  Seems
to be heard almost as well as my QRP K2.

Stumbled upon a hint that other K1 owners might be interested in.  As you
know, the K1 needs to be propped up some in order to read the display and
operate the knobs conveniently.  I'm sure the optional metal bracket is a
perfect solution, but here's what I accidentally discovered:

Go to your local office supply store and get a whiteboard eraser.  It is the
perfect size and offers two heights depending on whether you put it on edge
or flat.  Nice soft finish to protect the K1, small and light to carry (less
than 1/2 oz).  The one I got even is two-tone gray and matches the K1 case!!
