K1OA Scott Andover

Of note:

KC1KNC is hoping for recommendations on a QRP rig and right now is looking into the QRP Labs transceiver that is partly SDR. FYI I bought the $50 QCX CW transceiver (and recently ordered the enclosure) but have yet to sit down and build it.

K1OA offered advice that the “Frog Sounds” $14 kit via 
https://m.banggood.com/Frog-Sounds-HAM-Radio-QRP-Kit-Telegraph-CW-Transceiver-Receiver-Radio-Station-p-980512.html
Is not bad. I have built and used it and I agree. If I remember right someone does sell an extruded enclosure for it on Ebay. 

W1FDR was looking for advice for getting ferrite cores for QRM reduction (W1HIS’s excellent talk) and several of us suggested Fair-Rite
https://www.fair-rite.com/product-category/suppression-components/round-cable-emi-suppression-cores/

After the net KC1IOK reported he was happy to get the engineering kit of miscellaneous cores via Newark Electronics:

Thanks to all for checking in, keeping it lively, and above all, helping each other.
