I don't want to start any flame wars but I just have to ask if any one has
any suggestions on building this rig. I don't have a ham license yet but
thats not the point of building this thing. I just want to jump into the
deep end a bit. I've done all kinds of kits both big and small and just
want to do everything from scratch and learn something in the process.

I have that book too. Great read, very inspiring! I'd love to build it, or
something similar - but have insufficient time right now and too many other
projects lined up. I can't offer any specific advice but I would say this
would be quite an ambitious project and you'd need to be quite committed in
order to complete it successfully.

Another great book is "Crystal Sets to Sideband - a Guide to Building an
Amateur Radio Station" by Frank Harris K0IYE. This free eBook is available
for download on my website at
http://www.hanssummers.com/radio/k0iye/index.htm . Frank covers all the
theory and simple circuits, building up to more complex rigs. A great
resource for the homebrewer.
