Here are some slides of my progress building this amazing kit: http://shop.qrp-labs.com/kits/qcxmini

The various daughter boards and spacers before separating

Cleaning the "nubs". Wear a mask! Fiberglass dust is not good for you!

Separated, and cleaned. The tiny board at the lower left corner is the converter board to turn the QCX into a uSDX SSB transceiver

This is the add-on ($$) TCXO board. Penny for size reference.

Yes, I still do this. Save your egg cartons!

The work area at the new house

19 turns, 11 to go. This transformer has 4 stages. For 20 meters the windings are 30, 3, 3, 3

All of the SMT components came on the board already. I installed most of the thru-hole stuff in this picture. Still a ways to go though.
