I second the notion. Build it, use it and see what it does.

I built the kit and put it on the air and worked almost 30 Qs with it. I am not a fan of the mode after the fact. You just point and click and get a simple exchange. For $40, you do get something that does work. You guys remember the pixie? Did you get it to work as well? And, going back to the QRPGuys kit. I never received a follow up email saying I was causing problems by being on the air. I have, in the last five weeks pulled a Brian May, of Queen fame, by doing over 4,000 lines of C code and two books with more in the queue and gone back to doing physics. I have downsized the lab. I spent 26 years doing QRP stuff and it's time for me to devote time to doing physics seriously again. I've a bunch of papers to publish that I have done over the past 20 years. The EMRFD group has gone. It is time for this group to also come to and end. I do not want this group to turn into a bashing group. Too many people have their own agenda. This group is coming to its end of life. At the end of the year I will disable all posting, but the material files and messages will remain intact for the duration of the life of groups.io as long as we are not charged for the use of the space. Greed seems to be kicking in on the Internet and every one wants to make money. Feel free to start a qrp group with another name and announce it here. I will not release control of the group as I did with qrp-l. I don't want any attacks made on me for this decision. I am in control. I control the vertical. I control the horizontal. Hopefully the run was worth the humongous amount of time and energy I spent on projects and trying to stimulate the group. I kept the 20m 5W xcvr and will be on 20m trying for DXCC before I go deaf. :-) It's the last thing on my bucket list for ham radio. ciao, chuck, k7qo On 11/3/19 11:42 PM, JT Croteau wrote:
