For xtals, Norcal QRP Club has about the best prices,
the have the online ordering down for vacations, but

you could always email them.

For a rig, the MAS-80 is sure a thought, see

or you could always build up a Doug DeMaw - W1FB
(SK) designs from his several books on QRP.....
I'd give you some URLs but this is the SOC reflector :-)
