SMT project thanks

[Vic K2VCO]

Thanks to everyone (and there were many) who made suggestions for a
project to learn SMT techniques.  I've decided to build the AMQRP
Micro-908 (see
<http://www.amqrp.org/kits/micro908/index.html#Description%202>).  They
are currently sold out, but expect to produce more kits soon.  This is
an ambitious project, but what you get is amazing.

I've already built a new work area with a smooth white surface, a
powerful lamp, esd precautions, etc.  I have an Optivisor magnifier and
various little tools that I also use for tiny model railroad thingys.
I'm all set to move into a new world of DSP, software defined radio, and
who knows what that SMT makes possible!

And an ambitious project, indeed, Vic!
I feel bad about suggesting a "starter kit" LED Tune kit
while your sights were set so much higher.  hi

What appeals to me about the Micro-908 is that it's more than an
exercise, being very useful for a lot of things.  I'm not worried about
it being complicated; one thing I learned from building the K2 is that I
can do anything if I break it into small enough pieces and take as much
time as I need with each!  It also helps to have a comfortable, clean,
neat work area and the right tools.

I want to build a software-defined radio some day and this is a place to
start.
