Excellent suggestion. New homebrewers, please take note. Doing it
Dave's way takes away the urgency to get your project done and lets
you get some QRO on the air between workshop sessions.
The think what surprised me the most about homebrewing my own was how
long it took from start to finish. Even with all the parts on hand
right at the start (not likely, by the way) it can still take months
to do it right. One does not slap an amp together in time for next
week's contest. :-)
