** ALL KITS TAKEN ** Kids' Project Building Session 2007 ** ALL KITS TAKEN **
Huntsville Hamfest sponsored a project building session in 2005 - a
regenerative receiver. We're back again in 2007 with an FM wireless
microphone! The building session will begin at 6:00 pm Friday, August
17th - the day before Hamfest - and extend to 10:00 pm. 20 kits are
available - because an alignment step is required, the kits must be
built at the session. Bring a small soldering iron, diagonal cutters,
and needle-nose pliers if you have them. Youngsters, bring your
parents!
