Mike, What a list. Someone get this man a prize. Now I am really going to
struggle to come up with a list of ideas. Good list!

In addition to the relays, preamps, and filters.... how about something
about building amps?  I see a lot of messages floating around about easy to
build tube amps.... I don't know very much about the pro's and con's of
Solid State vs. Tube. How easy is easy?

Just a thought after reading Mike's list.
