Excellent presentation. The audio and video very professional. The only thing I would recommend is a little lighting. Thanks 73

That was a great video Peter. The way you had everything arranged, like QRP rigs, antenna systems, tuners, operating tips, etc was very informative. I'm saving the video so I can use it for a resource over and over again. Great work on a wonderful hobby! 73 KB3JC

I would looove a series on homebrew recievers. I cant get my general right now and I feel I have zero business on air if I cant make and use my own reciever

Great video, thanks for uploading. Ian Liston Smith has designed a “pimped” version of the Pixie transceiver for a CW channel on the 60 m band ( search online .) It may offer better chance of contacts. The antenna filter is a bandpass filter, reducing broadcast breakthrough, other improvements too.

I'm gonna forgive the fact you set your toaster on your microwave.. great talk!!
