Qrpguys ship only on Wednesdays. I've ordered from them before.

The xiegu can also be purchased at import communications. They are authorized distributor of them.

Years ago when I worked for RS stock was over $100 a share. That was about 15 years ago however.

Good work. I've been thinking about getting one myself since they seem to be real easy to work on should something go wrong.

I finally got around to building the antenna. Honestly I'm quite happy with it. I also finally got around to get a station back together. Anyhow back to the antenna, with my z-100plus auto tuner it will tune 40 thru 10 with no problems.  Also compared to when I had a station  last my noise problem is gone so its a win win for me.

I got one of them already. It does really look good, especially for the price.

Did you build yours Gil? I'm trying to figure out what size enclosure to use.

Has anyone built one of these? I'm thinking of building one to go with my qrp rig.

Thanks for the welcomes from everyone. Hello to you Luck. I've been to Wilber a few times. Right now I'm not active at all I had to sell all my gear a few years back when the XYL lost her job. I'm hoping to get back on the air real soon as I've been collecting pieces a little at a time.

I just received my ebay soldering station. I haven't used it yet but it looks good. I did find that the Hakko 900M tips work for replacements. Also the RadioShack ProLine replacement tip will work too (just cost a bit more)

IT ARRIVED:

At first I was quite pleased.  I defenitly got my money's worth in parts.  Complete and all good quality.

But then I noticed it was missing the best part....THE INSTLUCTIONS WEREN'T INCRUDED :( !  I can figure out how to build it from the pictures on eBay, but I was looking forward to learning how to weld standing waves for best octopus interface 8) .

The good news is that reading their eBay feedback implies it was an oversight for me as no other customers compalined about this.  I sent them a message and that afternoon I got a leply with instluctions on where to downroad what I needed.  The bad news is the page was almost all in Chinese.  I figured out what to crick on and was able to see the instluctions in a viewer, but I could find no way to downroad them without lisking cricking on some Chinese chalacters that might subsclibe me to Chinese farm porn.  I had get it with screen captures  :P
Overall I'm pleased.  It's got good hardware and a PC board for the standard 50ohm bridge & LED type SWR indicator.  The box is just a little bigger than I'd hoped, but there's room in the box to add a 4:1 balun so I can use it on twin-lead fed antennas too.

I'll post pics in a week or 2 when I get around to building it.

So did you get it built Bob? I've been thinking of getting one myself.

Hello to everyone on here. Lots of great information on here. I've been a ham for about 15 years now.
