Me too! Now that I'm running out of problems to debug with the rig I can turn to my antenna. I have a hex beam, tripod and rotator brand-new in the box waiting for my attention.
Thanks Hank - I plan to do some re-engineering of some of the boards before I package it up. The IF module is about 4 times as large as it needs to be and I can consolidate the Tx stages. The IF was a repurposed spare from a prior project that was not nearly as space constrained. By the way, as of this AM I have worked 9 of the 13 Colony special event stations, plus one of the bonus stations - all SSB- on 80,40 and 20.
An amazing project Dean! Thanks for sharing all your trials along the way. Can't wait to see the boxed version!
Thank you so much. I'm just starting to work on the box now. I had a couple of more Gremlins to get out but I think I licked at this point.
Fantastic Dean.
Can't wait until Bill gets an antenna up down south for a QSO between the two of you! ;-) 73 - Dino KLØS

Nice! You're going to need one hell of a big pine box to put in though. 🤣🤣🤣
