It is still completely al-fresco, with all the guts exposed, but I got it on the air this morning. I was 17, running it through my CCI .1kW 100 watt amp to a tuned doublet. Four QSOs so far: HP3SAM, K5BM, N4ZUL, and II3WRTC.
The structure of the rig is basically BITX.
The blue boards you see are TIA boards developed by Todd K7TFC.
No major problems to report. I will try it out on 12 meters soon. The receiver was working well on that band.
