Well hey, I've done at least 15 pcb designs, at least 10 of which worked
the first time, and at least three have gone into salable products.
Also, the radios I currently have are only for listening :- ) so it
would be fun to have a transceiver.
I'm already forgetting the common uses for the various bands. Are 6
and/or 10 meters widely used?
