[hpsdr] To kit or not to kit...............

[H. Gruchow]

Hi Henry and the group,

Henry, I fully understand your point of view and it is very clear to me that there are 
many people out there who have joined this group for the various reasons of partake in 
this project. I did not mean to offend you in any way at all. Sorry, if my posting was 
understood that way.

The reason why I posted under your topic was that it came in handy to just encourage 
people a little bit more not to give up on SMD soldering just because they think they are 
too old for this tiny stuff or not well-sighted enough to do it. I have found this 
attitude with many hams if the word 'SMT' comes to their ears. Being familiar with 
handling one foot long variable capacitors or five inch diameter coils SMT is definitely 
another world but also manageable.

At the end nothing can beat the satisfaction one can take out of achieving a challenging 
task. Whatever the poll result will be at the end I am with it. I just want to point into 
a direction where a lot of people could get even more fun out of HPSDR.
