I am looking at battery powered single sideband radio's after sitting through
the hurricane with lots of people worried. The choices are a QRP radio from
ICOM, a kit I found on line, or building my own. So far the ICOM transceiver
looks to be the least expensive way to go. So of course, I'll build my own;-}
