Let’s build a kit! My goal for the club this year is to build two kits. We’re going to start this fall with a clock kit by QRP Labs. Registration deadline is December 31, 2023.
This is an easy and fun kit and will look good in anyones shack. Here are the photo’s from the one in my shack. I have the GPS option and have the GPS module positioned near the window in my shack. Above you can see the display showing different info.
The basic cost of the clock without the GPS module and withought a case is $22.The GPS module adds $25 and the enclosure kit costs $40. The prices include shipping to us.
My enclosure was printed on a 3D-Printer by a friend. There are many ways to enclose the clock and you can buy different enclosures or create one that’s perfect for you.
This is an easy and fairly quick kit to build. We’ll schedule a Saturday morning at the Holyoke Hospital meeting room for a group build. There will be experienced people on hand to help you if you would like assistance.
Next Spring, we hope to have a more advanced kit available and will have more information on this in the next few months.
If you’d like to participate, send in the amount and a note with the options you want and we’ll get them ordered for everyone. The deadline is December 31, 2023. Checks need to be made out to the HCRA.
We hope you will participate!
