Hi DAve (and the other guys),

You are certainly not out of line, I appreciate you taking the time to
answer the questions at hand. I haven't been as attentive to e-mail as
I used to be, but I still try to check the list at least once a day
for questions about the project.

Please allow me to elaborate a bit more. There's no current kit of
parts offered for sale, but I'm more than happy to work with a
prospective builder to help them source parts. Most of the components
are very common. I tried hard to make sure that most of the parts
could be freely substituted with similar components, so there should
be plenty of room for variations. I have been promising an update to
the documentation for a long time to fix a few small problems and
elaborate on modifications to the rig, but unfortunately I haven't
finished this yet. I do intend to follow through with this, and I
apologize for taking so long to finish it. Also, I've decided to
disassociate myself from the Yahoo group and will focus my support
efforts on qrp-l.org, as was done with the original build. I will do
my best to support technical questions from any builder, whether you
purchased a kit from me, someone else, or procured your own parts. You
can also e-mail me directly for help.

Hope you decide to give it a try, we need a few more Willamette rigs on the air!

73,
Jason Milldrum, NT7S
