I want this radio REALLY bad, but it's very difficult to wait for it
when I've worked through my tech, general, and extra class since the
announcement, have to wait 4 more months still, have nothing but a
mobile 2m, and can have any of several (admittedly lesser) radios at my
door the next day.
As an interim measure, Rusty, why not build a simple CW rig for 40
meters? It could be a basic crystal oscillator and low power PA,
possibly using vacuum tubes. There are plenty of crystals and suitable
components around. This would enable you to practise your CW skills and
get some experience on HF before your "big rig" arrives. You will
already have a receiver of course - the one you have been using for
short wave listening before getting your license.
