Don't feel bad Curt, I just fixed a cold solder join this week in the VCO area. While it was apart I did a re-alignment. Today I took the rig out on my patio and signals were REALLY weak. It took me a while to find the VCO problem so now I was thinking "Now what? It was recieving fine yesterday!". I sat there a while listening to the bands then went to pack everything up. I found I had the counterpoise and long wire connections backwards! So, I was listening on a short piece of wire laying on the ground. hihi

Subject: [Elecraft] K2 Still Amazing
Turned on my K2 s/n 06424 today to see if 15M had any activity. Nothing in
the headphones. Preamp on, AF and RF gain to 100%, still silence. Unplug
the headphones, still silence, thought the rig was broken. Then discovered
I had disconnected the antenna yesterday :-o
What an amazing low noise floor!
