Hi Jerry, The link you mention,?, is our club web site and documents our first club build.
We built 30 or so Pixies and exposed many to their first soldering adventure. I? would consider the Pixie to be an interesting experiment rather than a viable transceiver, but yes they do work. With much time and patience and a good antenna I was able to work Brazil from New England, one of the few contacts I was able to make.

If that's the $1.98 ebay Pixie transceiver, let us know if it actually works. That would be amazing. Of course, you will need an Extra Class license to put that 7.023mhz crystal oscillator on the air, a different crystal will probably cost you yet another $1.98.? Unfortunate.
Should be able to hear the Bitx40 transmitting into a dummy load if you tune the Raduino to around 7.023mhz
