Ashhar, thank you


Ed Vignati
 

I just want to say thank you, you made a kit affordable to everyone.

You undertook the design, giving woman work by winding toroids and other parts of the kit.

You took your own personal time to not only design the radio

you had to design the board, spend your time trying to find a manufacturer to mass produce the boards at an affordable price.

Organize the workforce to assemble and pack the kits, checking each board before it goes out.

Spent your personal time that could be spent with your family to think of us , and I copy and pasted your quote:

?to encourage people all over the world to get more active in amateur radio, analog electronics and self-learning. Building and modifying radios is a great education. Lack of access to elmers and and radio builders' community, absence of test equipment : all impede the spread of homebrewing. With the BITX40, we hope to recover that ground and encourage more and more people to get on air, modify, experiment, build and learn. So, go head, make that mod you wanted to.


We all know that you are not making a profit especially when shipping is included. ?So, I just want to say Thank You!


I also know there are a lot of Hams that are saying Thank You


Look at the activity in this group, a lot of Happy Hams!


Thank you and God Bless,


and from all of the Ham Radio Community to you, a Big Thank You!

I couldn't agree more. Thank you Ashhar!

I second that, Ashar thank you very much for all that you have done to make this kit possible! I finally got mine in an enclosure and just tested the receiver so far and it works flawlessly! (Except for the 7.2mhz birdie that is) ?:-))

At age 69 I'm excited to get back on the low bands!

I second that. This is my first HF radio and it is because of the price that I was able to finally get one. Huge thanks for sure.?

Yes, thanks for the kit and for the valuable lessons in electronics.? I saw first hand the effects of the changes that I made (mostly to the VFO). ? ?I wouldn't try this on a "big rig" for fear of royally screwing up.? But I am dedicated to getting the BITX working the way I want.? Many happy hours of puttering around with the board. ?

Yes, thank you very much Mr. Farhan! I miss the old days of Heathkit and Ten Tec selling reasonably priced (and not so reasonably priced) kits for ham radio equipment. Kits for HF transceivers, except the rock-bound Chinese QRP CW kits, tend to be very expensive for the most part, especially on a factory worker's wages (at least where I live). While I already have a couple of operational HF transceivers, I am once again experiencing the joy that comes from a "do-it-yourself" project. Keep up the good work!

Well, Ash, Look what happened, spontaneously. I guess if you work hard enough...

Guys: there is a nice critique on the yahoo EMRFD group about the BITX
from Allison, KB1GMX (Feb 17). Look it up and pay attention to what she says.
These are the words of a true master.

Ashhar,

I have to agree with many others. ?I never had an HF transceiver mainly due to 1) cost and 2) desire to experiment. ?Although I have not assembled mine yet, I am looking forward to it. ?Thank you for providing this opportunity to the Ham community and my personal thanks for making a great kit at a great price!

If you mean the comments by Allison, I wouldn't presume to copy her messages.
She is a member of this group (and has her own folder in the files section). I
will post a message to EMRFD asking her to repeat the information here...
but it is up to her to decide such things.

Thanks for the heads up, Marco. Ray...is this correct?

I just want to add another huge Thank You to Ashhar! Bitx40 brought me back to my workshop, in a good way. And Thank You to every one of you in this group; your questions, answers, comments, etc. are great source of 'tribal knowledge' ...
