I went and purchased a Pixie. Just to play around with and maybe experiment a little with. It was under $10, so if I FUBAR it while experimenting, I won't shed a tear. I also procured some crystals for 7.040 MHz.
I need to get back into the swing of kit building again. So many to build, so little free time. I figured maybe if I start out small and work my way up to bigger projects. - maybe this will keep me out of the sack by 9:00 PM.

I built one with a 7055 crystal and worked a fair amount of stations with it. Measured 500mW into dummy load. My antenna is a Top Band full wave loop and with this little guy, it's possible to make a lot of contacts and more importantly have a lot of fun.
