[Elecraft] Tube radio kit

Tue Mar 18 20:51:02 2003

I've built the Golwbug 40 and can say the kit goes together smooth as silk.
An experienced builder can have it on the air in 1hour.
Super clean CW note.
Eham has a review on this kit as well as the websites guest book.  Sure is
nice to see the glow of a tube.
But alas my most often used gear are my K1 and K2s.

Regards,
Robert VE3RPF
