[QRP] Portable QRP project for blind ham living in an apartment.

[Darrell Shandrow]

Hi Ray,

Yep.  I'm getting good recommendations for the IC-703 for my uses.  Of
course, I'm getting more recommendations from other blind hams for the
Elecraft, but it is simply less rig for quite a bit more money.  I think
I'll have all or most of the items I need before I could afford just the
radio portion with Elecraft...  I want both CW/SSB.

Things are coming together.  Keep the great ideas coming.  All the input is
causing something great to come together.
