New Rock-Mite Assembly Resource

Scott Anderson, NE1RD (http://homepage.mac.com/bsandersen/ne1rd.html) has been working on a special project for the last several weeks.

He’s created a very detailed Rock-Mite assembly manual and then with it, he helped his local radio club with a “Kit Building Adventure” last weekend. Ten club members built 10 Rock-Mites using this manual and everyone who finished had a working radio to carry home. See the pictures from that happy event. http://www.wb1gof.org/files/partkit08_w/Page.html

What’s more, Scott has made the document available under a Creative Commons license that permits it to be widely shared and distributed. You can download the file by joining the Rock-Mite YahooGroup (http://groups.yahoo.com/group/Rock-Mite_Group/)and snagging it from the files area (RM-Step-by-step-rev-b.doc).

Even better, it’s available for viewing online (http://tinyurl.com/ytjsrv)right now via the new Issuu (http://www.issuu.com/) publication site.

It was obviously a tremendous bit of work and we’re all looking forward to Scott’s next project!

Note: The Rock-Mite is a simple CW transceiver kit available for 80, 40, (30) or 20 meters. It’s another amazing creation from the Small Wonder Labs (http://www.smallwonderlabs.com/) of Dave Benson, K1SWL.

Congratulations to NE1RD for a job well done!

Since a bunch of Rockmite fans will be stopping by here, this may be my chance to find a Rockmite accessory.

I'm looking for a KD1JV audio filter for the Rockmite.

If you happen to find one of these laying around - (under the seat cushions, or in the bushes along the trail) please keep me in mind.

Scott did a wonderful job with this manual. No matter what your experience level in kit building, this step-by-step guide makes it simple, much like the Heathkit manuals did years ago.
