Steve's kit, called the MMR-40 transceiver, is already available as a
kit at http://www.qrpkits.com through Doug Hendricks.
I'm putting mine together right now! BTW, you can peruse the site,
download the builder's manual, schematic, etc. Nice design. The kit
is more than the $50 limit, including the case, but it's still a great
deal, IMHO.
I really appreciate the work that these guys have put into these and
other very nice QRP designs. I also especially appreciate folks like
Doug, Dave (Small Wonder Labs) and others who make them into a one-
stop shopping experience, with very nice silkscreened, through-plated
PCBs.
I have also built the BitX20A from Doug, and am very pleased with this
neat little SSB-only 20m rig. It's an improved version of a design
from a very innovative Indian ham that was looking for the cheapest
way to help get other countrymen on the air for the least amount of
cash.
It's nothing like my (now complete!) K2, but the price/features ratio
is hard to beat!
Keep 'em coming, guys!
73,

Well, the other winner is certainly no surprise either! In the non-
PC supported category the winner was non other than Steve Weber,
KD1JV. I suspect there are very few people on this reflector who
are unfamiliar with Steve and his many, many terrific designs. On
the straight QRP reflectors I suspect his name recognition is nearly
100%. Steve is a past Hall of Fame Honoree from ARCI, and
regularly comes up with some of the niftiest gadgets and radios you
will find anywhere. Several of his latest designs (all of which are
meant to be high performance/low cost) are available through NorCal
and/or QRPKits, Inc. Steve is so prolific at coming up with things
it makes one wonder if he has a real job! But I think he does. Hi.
Anyway, congratulations to both Jim and Steve. Pretty impressive
stuff.
