I've got a similar project brewing. I found an old chassis from my  
Novice days. This 40m transmitter never quite worked. I'm going to  
strip it down and build a MOPA transmitter using a 6CL6 and 6146 tube  
for 30 and 40m. After that works, I'm intend to build a little solid- 
state receiver with an NE602/crystal filter/MC1350/NE602 receiver  
chain, not unlike some of Wayne's earlier designs.
