Other QRP Rigs & Kits
This page contains information on the monoband
QRP rigs that were popluar a few years ago. They still receive
frequent use here, especially with the addition of Elecraft's
T1 autotuner, which makes them all the more easily portable.
In time, I will use this particular page to
document my experiences with QRP accessories such as the T1
tuner and various other non-transceiver kits, some of which
are waiting to be built here in the shack.
