NorCal 40A Completed

Completed the kit on 7 August 2010. Had to fix a wiring problem on the
power supply cable that I made before I could power up and do VFO and
alignment work.

Completed alignment and tuning with just my ears (as QRP Bob advised).
Adjustments went smoothly.

For me, wiring the keyer to the rig was the most challenging part of
the kit. But I was successful wiring it up (with XYL help to hold some
components steady).

The KC1 keyer is really a great add-on that I highly recommend. With
it I was able to easily determine the lo and hi tuning ranges, once I
programmed in the VFO offset.
