Hey all,

My 12m alignment problem is fixed - yay!  I had a bad 1 pF (C45)
capacitor, which I swapped out just minutes ago & 12m tx output
immediately matched the power setting at last.  So K2 #4834 is up and
fully functional and has even had its first QSO.  It now awaits the
addition of some of the optional boards...

My thanks to Don, Walt, and Gary for their help in speeding me along to
track down the one naughty component.  What a great way to end the work day!

73,
