Your lack of a sense of humor is obvious, Len ;-) ;-)
Actually it's a commonwealth.
"Build from scratch?"
Yep.
Sure.
In case you missed it, Len:
I've built-from-scratch (not including kits, no carbon copies of homebrew
articles)
in my home workshops, at least:
5 receivers
5 transmitters
3 transceivers
4 transmatches
12 power supplies
4 TR systems
5 pieces of test equipment
various shack furniture, antennas, power cables, control systems, etc.
The above list does not include:
- surplus units converted/restored
- manufactured equipment restored/repaired/modified
- kits built or rebuilt
I've worked several of the regulars here on rrap using my homebrew rigs.
I can often be found on or around 7040 using CW.
And my transmitters have all been legally used in the service for which I am
licensed.
You got the scratch, Elecraft has the
KIT you can build. All by yourself.
I built one of those back in 2001. Kits are not homebrew.
Now explain to us again about your 1948 unlicensed operations...
