\u00a0<\/div>\n

For each Building Day, cost of the materials kit and instructions is $40. Please bring cash and settle up with Steve at the session.<\/div>\n

\u00a0<\/div>\n

What about tools? You\u2019ll need to bring a soldering iron, solder, wire cutters, pliers, a small adjustable-end wrench, and slotted and Philips screwdrivers.<\/div>\n

\u00a0<\/div>\n

IMPORTANT: You will also need to bring a single-edge razor blade or X-acto-type craft knife for removing insulation from the wire used to wind the transformer.<\/div>\n

\u00a0<\/div>\n

We will start each building session with a brief introduction to the project and a quick look at how\/why each antenna works.\u00a0 Then we\u2019ll do the building!\u00a0 We have plenty of time for a relaxed building experience, and you\u2019ll leave with an antenna system that you can put to work on the way home if you wish!<\/div>\n

\u00a0<\/div>\n

Please note that space is limited.\u00a0 Currently, we have room for 12 builders during each session.\u00a0 First come, first served!<\/div>\n

\u00a0<\/div>\n

Some additional kits with build instructions will be available if you\u2019d like to get one (either one) to build on your own.\u00a0 Cost of each kit is $40.<\/div>\n

\u00a0<\/div>\n

We are excited to share these special hamfest building sessions with you and look forward to seeing you there!<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
