There is something very satisfying about making QSOs with a piece of equipment you built from a kit. I just managed a New Hampshire to Croatia QSO on 20M PSK using a 5W radio built from a kit and a home brew 20M wire beam. I am grinning from ear to ear. Imagine how it would feel if you had designed the radio yourself. I envy Wayne, Eric and the rest of the Elecraft staff.

Now I've made similar contacts before by
turning down the power on my Icom and Yaesu rigs but these two contacts
really stirred-up something inside of me as they were made with a radio I
built.
