[HQRP] Farm & Ranch Tailgate

[Ed Manuel (N5EM)]

Gang,

I attended the F/R Tailgate this morning and it was a good one.  Your 
Houston QRP Club was WELL represented.  If you missed this one, make sure 
to attend the next one.

I hooked up with Bill Hickock, K5BDZ and am making arrangements to pick up 
a BUNCH	of the needed parts for the 2N2-40 project.  I'll start bagging and 
organizing individual kits over the next few weeks.

Also, got some blank PC board from Rick Hiller, W5RH to make the substrate 
boards and pads.

A big thanks to Bill and Rick for their help with this project.  If you 
weren't at the last meeting, you don't know that Lee Bahr, W0VT already has 
a bag of the crystals to build the 2N2-40's.  We'll be sorting and grading 
and matching those at an upcoming meeting.  We'll be making matched sets 
for the crystal filter in the 2N2-40.

A significant number of the parts for the rigs are coming together.  My 
estimate of the cost to build one of these with the Club is dropping all 
the time.  It will be one of the best deals you will find for the 
performance vs. cost.  Not to mention, you will learn something and, as 
they say in the commercial, that is priceless.

Oh, one more note.  Near the bottom of our website there is a place 
reserved for a personal website.  It's just a line with my callsign (since 
I'm the only one who has created one and put up the data).  If you would 
like a link to your personal website, shoot me the data and I'll put it 
into the HQRP page as a link.

72 for now.
Ed, N5EM
