Sean, I'm an amateur radio operator, among other things, and I for one would like to see the tutorial. As a matter of fact, I might even be able to help. And if the kits were reasonably priced, I would buy them just so I could follow the tutorial. Let me know what comes of this idea. Regards, Jim KA9QHR -----Original Message----- From: Sean H.
