ELECRAFT K2/100 ... Serial Number 2650 ...

I originally purchased this Elecraft K2 at the Dayton Hamvention in 2001 ...
I assembled it and used it for QRP ops until I got serious about chasing DX ... with 5 Watts or so and only a dipole antenna, I really couldn't expect to get great results DXing ...
I sold this radio to a ham friend in 2010-11, and unfortunately he became a Silent Key (sk) several years ago ... the K2 came back home to me, and it came with several enhancements ...
A 100 Watt amplifier, the SSB module, a transverter, an I/O port. and an outboard KAT100 antenna tuner ...
I always have been impressed with how quiet this radio is, and even with my noise level (that you can hear in this video), the filters do a great job of quieting the noise ...
While it was difficult to lose a good friend, I'm glad to bring this radio back home ... he would have wanted that to happen ...
R.I.P., Bill - AA4OC ... you are greatly missed ...

Sad story, but every time you fire up the K2, it will reminds you about your lost friend . Now keep it. I still have mine in the boxes unassembled due to other projects. The day will come to build it. 73 from Weimar, Germany de sTef #StaySafe
