[HBQRP] First QRP Project

[Sean Edwards]

Greetings group, I hope this message will cause a flood of email because 
I could use all the wisdom and advice represented here.  In February I 
got my Technician license and in March I upgraded to General.  Right 
now, cost is the biggest obstacle between me and a rig, and after 
looking into QRP, I finally found many transceiver options in my price 
range (<$50).  Although I am new to radio, I am not new to electronics 
or soldering.

I have found a couple versions of the Pixie II, but many modifications 
are recommended.  The Lil' Squall ][ is a modified Pixie, with modules 
for multiple bands, but the circuit looks a little fragile on top of the 
tuna can.  Ham Can and Rockmite also look good, but I don't know where 
to start.

What are your recommendations for a good first QRP transceiver kit and why?
