<\/span> Bill and Pete, <\/b><\/span> <\/p>\n


<\/b><\/div>\n
Thanks for the work you put into your podcast. I\u2019ve been listening to it on my commute and while at work (I\u2019m a welder\/fabricator). Fantastic content. Keep up the great work. <\/b><\/div>\n

<\/b><\/div>\n
All your talk about Farhan and the Ubitx convinced me to order one. I welded an aluminum case for it and upgraded to the Nextion 3.5\u201d screen. Also added a tuning knob from a Heathkit SB-401. So far I\u2019m really enjoying this rig. Plan to add an audio amp (to drive a larger speaker) and a CW filter to it this weekend. In the station picture I sent I also show my paddles made from a hacksaw blade and stainless steel hardware. It\u2019ll send 25 WPM before it gets a little sloppy. My QCX 40 is also pictured. I have a commercial rig too but find I\u2019m not using it very often. <\/b><\/div>\n

<\/b><\/div>\n
Plan to start building the simpleceiver soon and maybe a bitx 17 too. Your podcast played a big part in convincing me to pick up a soldering iron again. You guys are awesome. Keep it up. <\/b><\/div>\n

(Pete noticed that the main tuning knob on Adam’s uBITX was NOT from Heathkit but was instead from a Collins KWM-2 or 32S3. He advised Adam that the knob would sell quickly on e-bay. It did, and will finance additional N0ZIB homebrew projects. We are thinking of adding these knobs to our SolderSmoke Retirement Fund Portfolio.) <\/b><\/div>\n

<\/b><\/div>\n
I was listening to your older podcasts and heard several discussions about the Michigan Mighty Mite. <\/b>So this jumbled up mess probably doesn\u2019t look like much but I built one. I need to order a 40 meter crystal and actually build it again on a board(with the coil rewound for 40) but my \u201cproof of concept\u201d build was a success. Using a variable cap from a Hallicrafters S20-R and the crystal holder from a Heathkit. <\/b><\/div>\n
