Listen to 75 meters SSB some night. Too bad, but we have to tolerate them. It seems though that they make themselves look stupid eventually and are recognized for the ingrates that they are. As for the rest of us in the hobby I hear and give a BIG SHOUT OUT to those who perservere and keep on teaching us and inspiring us to do more, build more, and give more to our fellow hobbyists. As far as I know no one is getting rich selling ham radio kits, but there is a personal satisfaction that goes beyond money and all the naysaying nabobs of the world will never understand. <br /><br />My personal THANKS for all those who have made this hobby of QRP kit building what it is. I wish you well and God Speed in the present. <br /><br />Dave K8WPEDave K8WPEhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06095000668275119305noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7590176649168185428.post-34569054770536015232016-12-28T18:50:08.535-05:002016-12-28T18:50:08.535-05:00And if he charged closer to what the radio is wort...And if he charged closer to what the radio is worth, say $100 USD posted, all the short arms would be crying it costs to much and he is only in it for the money. <br /><br />Damned if you do and damned if you don't.

For the...I heartily second VK4FFAB's comments. For the life of me, I'll never understand why some of us insist on throwing a wet blanket over anyone who tries to contribute anything to our hobby. Anyone who's at all familiar with Farhan knows that his motives are pure - and even if not, who cares? Even with a little shipping damage, these things are a tremendous bargain!<br /><br />Farhan - You are one of the real heros of the hobby, don't let nonsense like this detract from your pleasure. <br /><br />Merry Christmas to the Brotherhood (and Allison.)N8NMhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00670056747080667518noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7590176649168185428.post-56731440028779112432016-12-24T19:45:57.459-05:002016-12-24T19:45:57.459-05:00Let it be known Ashar, that most of us do not thin...Let it be known Ashar, that most of us do not think like this guy and understand the good work you are doing.

The board looks to be of very high quality, The wound components put my own to shame. I am one very happy bunny......Regards.....Peter GW4ZUAPeterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06519305641111176464noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7590176649168185428.post-41633875923651090532016-12-24T11:37:33.610-05:002016-12-24T11:37:33.610-05:00This is a wonderful write-up.
