Thought this might interest some over here. It was Wayne's (very cool, I might add) idea, after all.
I was talking to Gary, KB9ZUV, several weeks ago and he had a couple of great ideas for things he'd like to see in such a kit, and I agree with his ideas. Especially the tenna dipper, except with audible feedback instead of an LED. -- Buddy Brannan, KB5ELV - Erie, PA Phone: (814) 860-3194 or 888-75-BUDDY Begin forwarded message: > From: "ken evans" <[email protected]> > Subject: [FPqrp-L] QRP ARCI ACCESSIBILITY CHALLENGE-UPDATE > Date: April 24, 2012 10:00:35 AM EDT > To: "Flying Pigs" <[email protected]> > Reply-To: [email protected] > > > > > > > QRP ARCI issued an Accessibility Challenge in January, 2012.
