Amateur Radio Kit Roundup
Hams have always been tinkerers and do-it-your-selfers. Finding a comprehensive source for radio kits, and kit building information can be a bit frustrating. Neil Goldstein, W2NDG, maintains a list of Ham Radio kit resources at radiokitguide.com, and for our March general meeting will give an overview of this list. What's out there? What's recommended? What do you need to get started? Getting into kit building is easy, fun, and not as difficult as you may think. Come to March's meeting and learn how to build your own gear, and learn how many kits are out there. Probably more than you think.
On 3/7/2015 the USS Massachusetts will be QRV as W1BSA from Fall River, MA. Frequencies are14259 KHz & 7259 KHz. QSL & Certificate via KB1TEE RICK EMORD, 135 Wareham Street, Middleboro MA 02346.
The figures 59 in the chosen frequencies are significant as the USS Massachusetts number is BBN 59
