    Something more robust than the original case eh?

    Yeah, just something to do. More of "playing around" than something practical.

    There you go.. Practical art. So, what projects are you working on?

    Hello Jason,

    JV> So, what projects are you working on?

    None really, unless you count a simple audio amp kit that I soldered together but have yet to case. I need to find a suitable speaker for it. It's a 2.5W RMS amp, so I think a 5W paper oval should suffice.

    I have an SSB/CW RX kit from TenTec, but I want to work my way up to building that because it's years since I did much soldering. I have a small broadcast band AM receiver kit that is next on my list. After that I'm thinking of investing in a Ramsay receiver kit (which looks more simple than the TenTec).

    I am not very good at soldering. The only project I have going on is cleaning out the shack and putting up an inverted V for HF.

    Who the heck sells kits these days?
    I'm an old paint by numbers Heathkit guy ( Ann Arbor Mich Co.)
    but I guess that dates me some.
