Hello Brian.

If you go to the 4SQRP page at:
http://www.4sqrp.com/index.php
and select 4 State QRP Kit Builders tab on the left that takes you to:
http://www.4sqrp.com/Kit_Helpers.php

You will see 7 people willing to build a kit for someone (one of the 7 is in Canada).  4 of them on that list indicate that they are not busy.  The 4 that the list show as not busy are:
Larry Draughn    AE4LD
Steve Miller    N0SM
Dave Raycroft    VA3RJ
Paul Rose    K0EET

I just sent a kit to Steve Miller, N0SM today to build for someone and have sent him kits for others in the past.  If that is something that interests you then I would suggest that you contact one of them about building a kit for you but you might want to do it quickly as I am down to 6 Hilltopper kits left.  I do not know what they charge for their service.  Some of them I know do not charge other than postage but that is something you will have to work out with them.  They do a great service for the group.

Good luck.

Hi gang

I am the happy owner of the HT 20 and I would like to buy a already built and working HT 40 radio. So if you have one built and working and wish to purge it from your inventory, let me know and maybe we can work something out.

I'd buy the kit but I'll never get it built...my eyes ain't what they used to be.

Anyway...just give me a shout.

I'm very late hearing about the Hilltopper.

order form or instructions?

Tnx es 73,

is no guarantee that the group will do another run. If the Hilltopper is

on your list but you have not ordered it yet, you might consider

ordering it now before they are gone.  Dave Benson did a terrific job on

this kit.

Thank you for your support.

Me and buddy trying to check in from SW OK last night and nothing heard. Also could not hear anything on Sunday sprint.  It's pretty rough from out QTHs.  I'm new to group and Paul would like to go Iike to join, but right now we're both dumb and deaf.  Will keep trying however. There's always next week.  73.  J

During these summer and very early autumn Wednesdays my 40m and 80m QNIs have generally only been possible during the final minutes of each net.

This is so because you folks in the 4SQRP heartland need the additional 20 or so minutes of darkness for my five Watts to be heard.  Remember that I have about 70 minutes more evening darkness than you guys.

Of course it works oppositely in the mornings, and way back when there were those Thursday morning 40m nets, I had to be the early bird in order to QNI.

Tonight I was pleased to hear Terry's initial call-up at a solid 559.  I dropped my call sign and to my surprise, he acknowledged it.  Then the house phone rang and my wife brought the portable phone to the basement man cave & shack, chatted with the caller for a minute before passing the phone to me to tell him I'd call back in five minutes.  Meanwhile Terry had given me his stuff, all of which I missed, and so he called again to see if I was still alive.  I gave him my stuff and turned it back to him to hear his close-down dit-dit, to which I responded likewise.

72,

Charles (aka Chas), W2SH

P.S.  Terry what was my RST?  Thanks!

I heard Chas but not you Terry! Too close I guess...

Next time maybe I can ask for a relay, not sure of the procedure!

Prefer two identical 365 pf, dual section variable caps for antenna tuner project. Prefer the two come from the same person or company! Plastic duals like in transistor radios OK.
