If you were mass-producing a kit, it should be easy. The challenge (back
when I read it) made it sound like it had to be buildable with printed
instructions and $50. If you have to buy everything in single unit
quantities and make your own PCB (or build ugly/Manhattan, a challenge
that would seem more formidable than $50 to many new hams) then it's
hard to squeeze everything in. How many tinkerers have any idea how
much it would really cost to build one of their creations? They probably
built most of it from the junkbox.
