Even lower cost Pixie kits!
Steve, G1KQH has pointed me to a link with 40m Pixie kits at incredible prices. At these prices there is no way the parts could be bought for less than the kit. The version I bought for $10 looks identical. All you need is a morse key, battery 40m antenna and walkman type headphones and you have a credible 40m CW transceiver. It really works.
Yoohoo Roger,
Now I back in front of the Pixie bargain game hunt, after finding the the best price!!!

£2.89!!!!!!!
and if you buy more than 2 it gets cheaper!!
Not forgetting this includes free shipping. Unbelievable.
I paid a whole £1 more than that for mine and now I am feeling ripped off. 😉 Of course the downside is waiting for it to ship from China, two weeks and still counting… 73
