I worked past midnight last night, so the hamfest was pretty much it for me today, after five hours of sleep.
Spent most of my afternoon/evening time Friday on the above gadget. There's no fast way to do it if you want it to be moderately neat. Only 110 individual connections!
The further and continuing adventures of the girl who sat in the back of your homeroom, reading and daydreaming.

What is your basic hf rig? And what modes do you find you spend the most time on? I have not been active on hf for years, but am considering getting back into it, and am just starting to decide how much money I would have to set aside for a usable station, for what I want to do. Mostly some CW, with perhaps a little SSB, or even a look at the digital world. I have no experience with that at all, since I am an old school ham, and never got started back into the hobby after a break, until the digital world was already here, and past me.
I am considering building a qrp rig from a kit, just to get my feet wet again, but that is not the main rig I will want.
Any help that you can steer me to would be appreciated.

Have you looked at the uBitX?

Almost NOT a kit. You get a populated board, you have to put it in a box and make peripheral connections - basically 10+ watts on all HF bands, SSB, CW and digital.

Thanks, Cajun. I will look into that this week. Sounds perfect.
I am years out of currency -- I use an ancient Ten-Tec (540?) on 40 and 80 CW on the rare occasions I am on. I have a couple of AM transmitters and any day now, I will get one of them on the air.
