Mystery Solved

[w7aqk]

Hi All,

I got back from California and finally got to see my K3--or at least the
parts for it!  By the way, my brother is better for the time being, and my
thanks to those of you who sent best wishes.  He's got serious problems to
deal with, but for now he is stable.

Anyway, I have K3 serial number (drum roll please) 96!  As several of you
noted, it was penciled on the inside flap of the carton, but my XYL didn't
even see it with her bad eyes and bad light!  So that will take it's honored
place next to my K2 #72, K1 #44, and KX1 #163 (I think--can't remember that
one for sure right now).

I think it's pretty obvious that the last few weeks have been pretty hectic
for the folks in Aptos.  I bet when they go home at night the dog hides
under a bed!

I've actually been home a couple of days, but I caught a bad cold in the
process, so I haven't felt like doing anything except curling up with a
bottle of Robitussen.  I'm about ready to tackle things now though, so maybe
by the weekend I'll have my K3 percolating.  It's a strange feeling though
not having to get out the soldering iron!

Ron,

I like the idea of the rosin scented candles.  And, with the Elecraft
logo, and a nice box, these would make great gift ideas for a ham.

Have fun!

It's okay to fire up the soldering iron! From time to time reach over
and
touch it with the solder so a little puff of rosin smoke floats up to
sooth
the end of that cold! (Just don't touch the soldering iron to anything
that
goes inside your K3.)

Maybe Elecraft should offer rosin-scented candles or aerosol cans as an
option -- sort of a Ham's version of "new car smell".

Or, you could build a clock for the shack!  http://www.transistorclock.com

over 1200 parts to solder -- lots of rosin smoke
