[CQ] HF txcvr kits?

[Josh Myer]

I actually laid out, etched, and assembled a Knight SMiTe:

http://www.knightlites.org/projects/knightsmite/index.htm

It's oscillating great, but I haven't gotten an antenna attached well enough
to actually hear anything from it.  I also lack the license to transmit with
it, so I've only tested that bit across a little 50ohm test load, and it
seems to work okay.

I've recently received a sample kit of SMT inductors, and some varicaps, so
I'm looking into plans for simple antenna tuning circuits.

(Also, learning/relearning tons about oscillators, amplifiers, etc.  It's
been fun, but I've got so little time lately...)
