Gm Group: Nice and snowy here in SE KS this am, about 6 inches and 30 mph winds! Beautiful Spring day! I have for sale a very nice THD7A(G) with lots of accessories. It comes with a belt clip/soft

Congrats Chip! I am happy to hear that you got the "Flying Pig Rig" on the air. We need to set up a Sked in the next week or so. Terry does a great job with the label software. hope to heat you on

Not too long ago Diz was down to 15 kits left . Doesanyone know if he sold out this run ? 171 is ready to put the crystal sockets in , but I amgoing to wait until I can check both sets at the same

Just finished a QSO with KY0O on 7.0307 in Kansas City - he on his HW9. I sent him to the Pig Rig site, he was not familiar with it. Putting out between 3 and 4 watts he gave me a 599. Thanks to

From what I could find out, it is called Kight kit not Knight kit and it's a Chinese made QRP CW/SSB transceiver that puts out 4.5 watts. Apparently this website is that of a fellow who is retired

Hi Guys, Just found this neat little AM pocket radio circuit by searching <transistor radio circuits 1960>. It's a 1960 Pop Com article. It uses one transistor for both the RF regen amp and relex

Once upon a time a younger brother received an electric train set for Christmas. After playing with it for several *hours* the train jumped the track (yet again). Little brother got up and left it

Interesting post. I enjoy music as well, and play guitar. I also have built several vacuum tube guitar amps. (Is there any other kind?) Makes for a nice merger of hobbies. Joe, N6DGY

I ordered two myself a few days ago. They arrived yesterday. Nice looking enclosures. My piggie #143 will will have a pen when I finish building. :-) Now I'll have to trouble Terry for a nice
