It was really cool that our correspondent at FDIM caught up with Eric Schwartz WA6HHQ of Elecraft. Some highlights from the interview: <\/b><\/p>\n

— Eric met Wayne Burdick through the NORCAL 40 (Wayne had designed it, and Eric was writing articles about it). That was a very influential rig — it was the basis for a book and a CALTECH course by David Rutledge. <\/b><\/p>\n

— Elecraft has a strong QRP element in its DNA. <\/b><\/p>\n

— The K2 is “Heathkit style” and offers the builder the opportunity to understand the rig at the component level. <\/b><\/p>\n

— Eric says that using something you built yourself is worth at least 10db. <\/b><\/p>\n

Here is Bob’s interview with Eric: <\/b><\/p>\n
