[GreenKeys] Fwd: Kit-Building

[Joe Gilliam]

You know, I would love to do some kit building.  This is probably Off
topic, but, if anyone had some web sites that
offered ham related Kits for anything, I would like to go look.

So if you have a favorite web site that has good ham related kits, Post
them!!!!!

Thank you all.

Happy New Year...
