[Lowfer] Another newbie with questions!

[HANK]

Hello Ed.  Grid Square DM04sk  is located in Canyon Country, 40 miles North
of Los Angeles, close to the Six Flags Magic Mountain Theme Park.  I was
just fooling around with the idea of a solar powered gizmo next to a  ground
mounted verticle on a coke bottle and FSK'd somehow.
I think that is legal.  Right?  I just have to stay between 13,533 & 13,557
and lower than 8 mw?
So, What is available in the way of circuits, kits, prefab modules etc?
:)
