Hey Elecrafters,
Last nite (St.Patrick's Day), I completed the
Wilderness Radio SST (40m). I was able to
use my N-GEN and DL1 and I was very
pleased with the result. The SST was the first
transceiver I completed and I found that it was
extremely easy to build. (There are only 4 toroids
to wind). First contact with SST was VE3DZ during
contest, and my antenna was not even resonant
for 40m. I am looking forward to building the
elecraft W1 SWR watt meter and the XG2 test osc
possibly next month. I am still learning this kit building
stuff, and plan to build a couple more kits from OHR or
Ten-Tec before I take the plunge and try the K1 xcvr.
