[Elecraft] Sub Receiver & KBPF3

[Ron Wilcox]

I have a medical background, this was my first kit of any kind to do with
electronics. While I did not find it easy, I had no problems putting it
together. However it was not intuitive for me and had to study (not just
read) the instructions very carefully, and usually more than once or twice.

Today is a good day to have a Great Day!
