Maybe I'll try one of Ramsey's QRP rigs next.

Try Ten-Tec kits. (I don't think they get nearly enough press)

I built their 20m QRP kit a few years back. Nice unit. And very
reminiscent of Heathkit - in some ways even *better*. You build a chunk
of the circuit, then test it - so if you make a mistake, you don't have
to pull out layers of parts to fix it.

I'm building the ten-tec 1320 qrp kit right now. One nice thing, if
you can't get it to going (and I couldn't make the vfo work), you can
always send it to ten-tec. They fixed the vfo, and now I'm finishing
up the kit.
