Does that mean that Nina would want to assemble a kit as well

That would be three kits so far.

I can pre order them and we can do them at the next meeting --which I assume will be late April.

Bob and all,

 

I’m definitely interested,  I would strongly prefer the no-soldering one.

Hello to all,

 

At our last meeting Jerry, W3BPP, expressed an interest to complete 

the soldering classes that we had done before Covid.

 

We had talked about a project that would include building a radio from a kit.

 

I did some searching primarily, on Amazon,and they have a number of DIY radio kits listed on their site.

 

Two that I was particularly interested were - one that was assembly only with a small wooden case 

The board comes completely done and all the user needs to do is plug the board in and  assemble the case. This is FM broadcast only

 

The price is $19.99 plus tax

 

The second is a small board with about 20 components that need to be mounted and soldered.

 

There is no case with this radio and it is also FM broadcast only.

 

It is $7.99 plus tax and there is also an offering of two radios for $10.99 plus tax and they do offer a discount for multiple orders.

 

Let me or Frank know if you have any interest in doing this project and your preference for soldering or no soldering.

 

Thanks,

 

Bob
