Last nights EARS meeting went well. I managed to avoid being made the chair on any committees but I did volunteer to help coordinate the groups Field Day effort. I have never participated in Field Day before and this is one way to fix that. Step one is to read the rules.

The May 2008 issue of QST published the details of the Homebrew Challenge (HBC) winning entry. In short the HBC was a contest to create a radio that could be built by someone at home that cost $50 or less. I would like to build the TAK-40, one of the winning entries, but paying $100 just to have a service make me the PCBs for the project seems to violate the spirit of the project. I know a few of you out there build hardware and I wondered if I could pick your brain/raid your tools to make the boards. :)
