<\/b> I want to start out by saying that this is NOT my fault. I have been TRYING to do QRP things. Remember my recent Tuna Tin 2, Herring Aid 5 rig? I am aware of the ever-present threat of expulsion from the QRP HoF. We all remember what happened to poor Pete back on April 1, 2017. <\/b>

<\/b> But sometimes people just deliberately put temptation in your path. That is what happened this week. Our old friend Rogier KJ6ETL (formerly known as PA1ZZ) sent me the very LARGE chunk of aluminum that you see in the picture above. Look at that thing. It is practically begging to be turned into a very QRO push-pull amplifier. <\/b>

<\/b> At first I told myself that it would be impossible to tap the big heat sinks on the sides. How would I get the drill in there? But then I realized that I can just put the threads in from the outside. I can almost smell the machine oil. And the heat sink compound… <\/b>

<\/b> Thanks lot Rogier. This is all your fault. <\/b>
