New owner

[HSHERRIFF]

Well, today I took the plunge.

I'm a fairly new No-Code Tech (Dec last year). I am working on my
code, slowly but surely. Had wanted to get my ticket since my cousin
(K8CCJ) showed me his shack MANY years ago and finely did...

Have been working 2m since getting my ticket, but wanted to go
farther. Decided to go for the code and thought I would like to get an
HF rig to provide a little more motivation. Looked at the Yaesu FT-
857D and it's an ok rig, but really got the bug when I researched the
K2. SO, ordered it today with SSB and RS232 options  and will add more
options as the money allows.

Thanks Elecraft for starting the fire burning.....and I look forward
to being able to USE my K2 once it's built and my license upgraded.

You can use the K2 with your current license -- just don't transmit.

Unless you also assemble one or more tranverters. Like you, I'm a
technician and built my K2 this summer. I've also built the XV50 6
meter transverter so I could use the K2 both ways!

I used my K2 to learn code by sending under the TEST mode.  Still do that
while I am warming up.  You could not tell by this evening's net however
:(  My fist was less than stellar.  But I was pounding nails and
chainsawing wood this afternoon.  Maybe one day the manual labor will
cease and I can pound brass all day.  Or better yet find a job as a
telegrapher somewhere :^)

I can dream can't I?
    Kevin.

GL on the rig by the way.  You will have fun with it; either listening,
practicing, or when you pass element 1 by getting on the air and working a
few of us!
