A new 40m DSB kit arrives on the QRP scene
Just when everyone is taking Summer siestas and there seems very little news around to talk about. Along comes a new Direct Conversion 40m Transceiver kit from Australia.
The MDT DSB kit is manufactured by Ozqrp, capable of 2W PEP, it has a full swinging VFO 7.090MHz - 7.130MHz or 7.050MHz - 7.110MHz all for $80 (Aus) including case, less than £40 UK plus carriage, which worked out about $12.50 (Aus) posted to the UK when I quickly did a test and popped it into the shopping trolley.

I finished building the MDT Friday and was able to use it during the IS Field Day, I made over 30 contacts Saturday without really trying very hard. It works very well.
