[Elecraft] Kit-building talk at Pacificon on Saturday, N6KR/WA6HHQ

[Dan Romanchik]

Hi, Wayne--

Is the list of books on the Elecraft website (or can you 
post it there)? I also have a little presentation on 
kit-building that I give to local clubs and would love to 
include that bibliography.

73!
