[Lowfer] Lowfer Transmitter

[Sean Cavanaugh]

Thanks for the information, John.  I've yet to actually put together an 
order, as I've been extremely busy at work. I hope to get time to come 
up with something soon though. I have a feeling I'll be trying out a few 
different designs as time goes on though. I plan to start with a CW 
transmitter, but I do think it would be interesting to try other modes 
as well.

I'm a bit confused looking at Jameco's site, though. Seems to be a US 
company but all their prices are quoted in pounds. Might be confused by 
my Canadian IP address, I suppose.

I'm not sure how Jameco is cross-border, but with Digi-key Canada I can 
avoid the hassle of shipping across the border. That makes it a bit more 
attractive than other suppliers unless I can't get the parts any other way.

Hope to be on the air with something within the next month or so.

73,
