The reason to answer another question re CW is that the contest is   “80m telephony contacts only” … I’m just the messenger !!

Hello Robin

Just out of interest as I will not be in the UK at the time

Do you consider the Elecraft K2 as "homebrew"?

How abou the K3 made up from a "kit"

Hope it goes well!
