[AMRadio] US Constitution? What's that?

[Conor Farrell]

While I enjoy learning about politics, especially in the US, I'm not
sure if this is the place to bring up issues regarding your
Constitution...

In other news, I finished my Pixie 2 transceiver the other day. I
fired it up... and it didn't work :( I'm guessing this has something
to do with jumping in two feet first and soldering it on the first go
to a piece of stripboard! My next attempt will be a "prototype"
version (with full working capabilities); so when I get it up and
running I'll do a little listening, and then maybe broadcast a signal
for a couple of minutes each day for a couple of days. QSL opportunity
anyone??? :D
