[Milsurplus] Way OT -- Rice Boxes

[Bill Cromwell]

Hi Bob,

I thought the ubitx is a kit. I am hosting the Michigan QRP Club annual 
picnic in my area this year. The big door prize is a ubitx and it will 
soon be delivered to me. Beyond opening the shipping packages for 
inspection I won't be opening wrappers on the BitX. Maybe I will be able 
to see if it is already assembled but I thought I saw it listed on their 
web site as a kit. Did I get that wrong?

I better take another look.

73,

Bill  KU8H
