The early fascination with small light bulbs, switches, and batteries confirms the diagnosis. The Ladybird group seems to have led many a young British person down the path to OTD (see the web site for more info on this malady). <\/i><\/b>

Hi Bill<\/b><\/div>\n
<\/b><\/div>\n
I have built a few BitX transceivers and developed a 9 band version which has been built by various hams around the world.<\/b><\/div>\n
<\/b><\/div>\n
Always look forward to the SolderSmoke podcast which I enjoy immensely.<\/b><\/div>\n
<\/b><\/div>\n
For your interest I have attached some pictures to show you some of the modules I have designed\/developed and built for my Multi-Band projects. The SMD boards are for my latest project which I call the Irwell Transceiver, my intention is to make it all band HF and multimode.<\/b><\/div>\n
<\/b><\/div>\n
Hopefully my pictures will meet with the SolderSmoke approval and the inauguration can take place for recognition that I officially have The Knack, failing this it will be a Basta moment at the G6LBQ workshop!<\/b><\/div>\n
<\/b><\/div>\n
Keep up the great work you do with SolderSmoke which brings pleasure, fun and inspiration to hams all over the world.<\/b><\/div>\n
<\/b><\/div>\n
Kind Regards<\/b><\/div>\n
<\/b><\/div>\n
