Folks,
Yesterday I offered up a free RM-30. A few folks though it would be fun
to include a Log with the rig to track its history. I thought that was a
pretty good idea and took it one step further: I began a "Journal" for
the rig and will include it when I ship it. All the details are in the
first entry of the log, attached below.
BTW the RM-40 I'm offering will go out in a similar way

It started life as a Rock-Mite 40 kit, and was a gift to Rod
N0RC in 2003. N0RC obtained the parts necessary convert it to
30m, and the kit was built. After making a few contacts, it was
set on the shelf, taken out of it case, and sat idle.
In early 2004 N0RC offered it as a gift to another QRP
enthusiast, totally free, per the offer terms in this email:

Subject: And now for something FREE!!!
Folks, I have a 30m Rock-Mite available.
30m you say? YEP it is a converted 40m unit.
The PBC is assembled and the unit is working.
It is not in a case, I will mount it in an Altoids tin if you
wish, and that too is free. No shipping, taxes, service, good
will, tips, or any other kind of payment is required. Heck, I'll
even ship it to a non-US QTH for free!
The 40m kit was a gift to me, as were the conversion parts. I
had my fun with it, now it is time to "share the wealth". When
you tire of it, give to somebody else, as I am giving it to you.
Please don't sell it.
