Awesome!

I might have to swing by to see this; is it still up?

It'd be great to get a rig up full-time at 2169; does anyone have
recommendations for something smallish/affordable?  QRP (read: really low
power, tuna-can sorts of transceivers) seems sort of like the way to go,
entirely from a cost perspective, and it sounds like we can run SSB on it
with some tweaking.

What's a good kit for that, to sort of recapitulate a previous thread?
