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

It is almost year since you seeded idea about the BITX. I am still a listener of your podcast.<\/b><\/div>\n
After finishing my RF amplifier project late last year, I was thinking of few projects and BITX was on the top of the list. I ordered and received a very beautiful BITX40 kit with Arduino, I got it recently. I also designed a simple case for it using CAD software. It can be used by anyone — just go to your local laser\/CNC shop to get it cut in Aluminum. I just thought of sharing the excitement with you. This rig and it sounds awesomely good \ud83d\ude42<\/b><\/div>\n

<\/div>\n
Attached are some snaps and design files (I am no expert in CAD etc. it is my first attempt to learn and build)<\/b><\/div>\n
<\/b>
<\/div>\n
Happy projects and 73s<\/b><\/div>\n
