Totally off topic...a friend who was "hanging up" the flying business
(he is 90!) gave me (I helped take down his Ham radio tower...he and
his wife are moving to a condo) for not a lot of money RST's marker
beacon kit.
First kit of RST's I have built. Worked first time, and it is well
engineered. Instructions are well done etc.
I'm a pretty advanced builder. lots of heathkits, some homemade amps
up to 70cm...but it is an easy build for a novice.
Well Done
Robert
