Yep, should be no problem to compile a list of names (maybe on the
HPSDR Wiki?)

There is a local guy (Columbus) that does small quantity hand soldering of SMT
(actually he does it out of his garage).  [Actually I did not really
find him, OSU had used him many times in the past for small projects
and I only discovered this fact for the Physics dept.]  We used him
for some OSU stuff after I got tired of soldering the boards myself.

He does a great job - very professional...
Very reasonable on the price since he is retired and it is just
something for him to do in retirement.  He has all the anti-static
stuff, microscope, rework stations, etc...
