K2 Number K6
Locked

Twice as many IC-781s as were built. I'm up for 6008 or 6068 if Elecrat decide to sell 'cherished numbers', and 6888 could be quite a good investment.
73, VR2AX Hi everybody! I wonder who will get K2 number 6000? Can you guys believe this? Almost 6000 K2s out in the field making a whole lot of folks all over the world very happy. I glad to be a part of this. Best regards, Bob K7HBG K2 [2836] and proud of it. _______________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Post to: [hidden email] You must be a subscriber to post to the list.

I did notice your post was at 6:08 today. 6073, Tom, KJ3D -----Original Message----- From: [hidden email] [mailto:[hidden email]] On Behalf Of Wyn Hughes Sent: Sunday, January 14, 2007 6:08 AM To: [hidden email] Subject: [Elecraft] K2 Number K6 Twice as many IC-781s as were built.

Original Motorola CPU types, I should guess.
Can't wait for the 8008, 8080 and especially the Z-80! -----Original Message----- From: [hidden email] [mailto:[hidden email]] On Behalf Of KJ3D Sent: Sunday, January 14, 2007 9:39 AM To: [hidden email] Subject: RE: [Elecraft] K2 Number K6 OK, I'll bite.

Pure fluke. The numeral "8" is considered lucky by some in older Chinese
culture, much of which still exists here. Conversely, "4" is not so good, many buildings here have all floors ending in "-4" omitted, in the floor numbering system. Co-incidentally, my phone extension ends in "68" as is my (GW) house number - but my birthday is on the 13th, again less than auspicious! My best ever Hong Kong QTH was on the 13th floor, worked lots of serious 160 dx with a top fed 1/4 wave vertical, but my xyl wanted to move to a lower apartment. Hence my need for a K2 and /P.

I know we're veering way off-topic but as a quick FYI for others, in Chinese different tones impart different meanings to words. The same word meaning 'four' using one tone means 'death' with another tone and 'to tell time' with still another, which is why you don't give clocks as gifts. I suppose when you retire from a Chinese company if you were to receive a gold watch it'd have a much different going away wish than in countries elsewhere!
