It is somewhat too advanced for some member in the club who do not have experience with kit building. My intention was to have members build a small kit to start. A boost in their confidence.
Now I hope I hear from members who would be interested in building a small kit. This would be a great club project. I think we need to do more stuff like this to keep the fires burning.

One was a 40m transceiver and the other was a tuna tin 40m transmitter.These kits were fun to build and work as advertised.These kits are quite reasonably priced and I was thinking these would make a great club project. If we could get enough interest, I would hold a soldering session to ensure everyone makes a successful kit and learns something more about radio and how they work. It's really a lot of fun making contact with a rig you built. Plus we could hold a night where we can all be operating our kits and have a net. Don't worry about your soldering ability. As with the last project the club was involved in, I will be there to help and troubleshoot any problems that may arise.Have a look at the following website and look at what they have to offer. www.qrpme.comAlso there is a great little transceiver called the ROCKMITE. I have built one of these as well.www.smallwonderlabs.com Please send your comments about my proposal.
