[Elecraft] Off topic: beginner kit recommendations?

[Leigh L Klotz, Jr.]

Since your son has his general, here are some ideas for transmitters:
1. Tuna Tin 2
See amqrp web site.
2. GlowBug 40
1W 40M one-tube transmitter.  See their web site.  Not as dangerous as 
some other tube kits.
3. K1 or KX1
He won't be able to build it himself, but you know it will work and be 
useful if you do it together!
4. And last, because it is not available now
The Norcal QRP Tin Ear DC receiver.
You may be able to get one from a kit hoarder.
See the AMQRP site for details.  Too bad they don't have them.
