	2005.04.12  12.04 R2T2 in cabinet Finished mahogany cabinet Fits well, and is handy to operate with front doors open.

	2005.04.02  14.26 Just finished getting Multipig+ Transceiver #21 running on all bands. I had already built #16 last year, and this one came up for sale, so I "adopted" it. Made a couple of QSOS with Poland in the SP contest on 20M just to check it out.

	2005.03.26  17.04 First QSOs with R2T2 Made a few QSOs with the R2T2, and good reports all around. Getting set to start on custom mahogany case.

	2005.03.23  17.29 FINISHED The R2T2 is finished . All functions working FB

	2005.03.13  09.05 R2T2 Coming along The R2T2 is coming along. Got the Amp putting out about 9 watts max, and mounted most of the modules to the "chassis." Now to start on the front panel.

	2005.02.27  08.57 DL-QRP Amp finished Finished last module, the DL-QRP amp, to bring the power up to 5-7W. Now to put it all together!

	2005.02.25  13.57 XIT, Counter, QSK working Finished setting up XIT and QSK on the T2 board. Also built up a K1MG Digital Frequency Counter/Clock to use with this rig.

	2005.02.21  13.57 T2 Transmitter Working Got the T2 Transmitter working today. Now to hook up the whole thing.

	2005.02.20  16.21 R2Pro Receiver Got my KK7B R2Pro receiver hooked up today, with all three filters (wide and narrow SSB and CW). I can only say WOW! What an amazing receiver. After tweaking the phasing, I could here NOTHING of the opposite side on several CW sigs that were blasting in on the DX Contest. The CW filter sounds as sharp as my 300 Hz filter, and this thing is a Direct Conversion Receiver. You would not know it to listen to it, until I tuned up to the SSB part of the band, and put the filter on wide. Talk about broadcast quality! Now on to getting the matching T2 transmitter going.

	2005.02.19  09.01 New Project Picked up some uncompleted KK7B modules on eBay. I am going to try to put together an ultimate" 40M QRP rig using the R2Pro and T2. Built in keyer, Frequency Counter, Z-match, RIT and XIT, etc. We'll see.....

	2005.02.13  08.57 Cleaning Shack Been building stuff, and am about up to my elbows in clipped resistor leads, empty SMD packages, etc. Time to clean up before starting next project. Did make a QSO with my 2N2/40, anyway. It works great!.

	2005.02.08  13.05 Finally getting a "Round Tuit" This is one of those things I started months ago and never did follow through. My excuse is right after I signed up, my left lung collapsed for the third time, which earned me some surgery and hospital time ;-( This winter, been building some projects. Built an AT Sprint II, Steve Weber, KD1JV's amazing little 4 band 4W transceiver...that weighs 2.5 ounces!. Also built a "Micromountaineer" for 40M, an old Lektrokit SP-750 rig for 40M, a FOXX-3 for 20M and finally, a 2N2/40, which is really an amazing radio. All 2n2222 transistors, it has an outstanding receiver, and puts out a cool 2W on 40M, VFO controlled. The only non-stock thing I added was RIT and a TiCK keyer.
