I've made some corrections on my BC-611 Solid State version web page. As a revision project  I was not successful with using toroid coils for the transmitter final - its had to tune a toroid unless you tap the coil and have a multi-tap switch etc. So I put that in the "Too Hard to Do Box". The project uses off the shelf boards and kits  for the most part but you will have to wind a coil which is a process that is not very popular.
