[DSP-10] Jumper wires

[dsp-10@mailman.qth.net]

Doug,

Well it is my first one so I just followed the instructions.  Of course at
Dayton last year, I went to the TAPR desk/booth and asked one question, 'were
the holes drilled in the kit?'  The answer was 'yes' all the holes were drilled
and ready to go.  I know better now.  So I still have that to go.  I'll finish
jumper to night and then SMDs.

Thanks,

John
