[CW] Good CW QRP Rigs

[Karl J. Zuk]

I have several QRP rigs.

Heath HW-7: primitve with a frustrating receiver. The HW-9 is the one to 
get.

Rock Mites: Only one frequency and challenging. I've worked all over with 
these. Hot receiver. Can be great fun.

Tuna Tin 2: Remarkable with just 2 transistors. No receiver. Lots of fun for 
less than $25. Buy one just for fun!

Small Wonder Labs SW+ series: OK, but just OK.

Oak Hills Research OHR-100A single banders: A pain to build and quirky to 
operate. Not recommended for the faint of heart. Ambitious design, but very 
frustrating to align. Resign yourself to the $50 calibration fee. Not 
logical!

Highly recommended: Small Wonder Labs DSW series. These palm sized rigs are 
miracles. Easy to build and operate. Tiny in size. Powerful in performance. 
Go with this one!

K-1 and K-2: nice rigs but tres expensive and laborious to assemble.

Ten Tec QRP series: OK but anemic in power output and receiver quality.

Buy a Small Wonder Labs DSW-II for 30 meters and don't look back. A best 
buy!
