More news from Down Under

I know that there are a myriad of kits out there; but Nick VK1AA e-mailed me about a new kit offering designed specifically with younger Hams in mind. This might be something your club might be interested in - "Kit Night for New and Young Hams", perhaps? It gets you to thinking.

The following is courtesy of Nick VK1AA:

As a typical radio kit producer which arises out of pure enthusiasm, GenesisRadio will take you to the roots of homebrewing where electronics and ham radio is still contagiously exciting.

Genesis Q5 is a radio transmitter kit designed for novice kit builders and QRP radio enthusiasts. "Hook 'em on ham radio while they're young" is GenesisRadio's motto.

And the Q5 series will definitely meet your expectations: with forty quality components and a professionally manufactured circuit board, the Q5 will get you transmitting on crystal controlled International QRP frequencies running a solid 1 Watt in no time! Price: US$ 19.95 + postage.
