NAP time = Norcal40 Anniversary PartyThe schedule is to complete the build by
January, or so, and operate the rig through 2018. QSO's with other 40A's is
encouraged.
Register onto the QRP Tech Yahoo group via:Yahoo! Groups
Check out the conversations and the files area for the Winter NAP time build.
Which includes the BOM (bill of materials). I'll source a few different places
than on the BOM in the group files. A local group buy of the components will be
ordered the later half of November. So, if you want to participate in that buy,
a deadline to sign up will be the 20th or so.
