I am thinking there is a large population of v3 and v4, I wonder if they might outnumber the later versions. Our local club did a group build, more than 2 dozen. Actually my v4 was originally decently clean on about half of the bands each in cw and ssb. Improving it was much of the adventure, but honestly much more global interest in customizing them. I appreciate for some places on the globe hams use it as a primary rig. I have better rigs that sometimes sit for weeks at a time while I make contacts and or improve the ubitx.?
Occasionally I call someone dx even on ssb with the ubitx, and if I give my call twice they can be quite annoyed when we double, when they copy me the first time. A rig whose circuit boards cost maybe 3 or 4 loads of fuel for our automobile is quite a treasure. But surprising how much time many of us have invested in hardware and code, and have vastly spread the knowledge.?
