[W5SFA] Build Night May 31 - Some Additional Info

[Gilbert Franke]

Thanks for these liinks.  I have checked out the QRP Lab pages.  I'm
wondering what interface is necessary.  They say it generates WSPR beacon
reports without a computer.  For other modes, does it take a computer, or
at least a keyboard? Is an RPi a helpful part of the station?

I think I am interested in the transmitter, GPS module, 6 band relay switch
kit, the enclosure kit, 5watt PA, and possibly the receiver kit.  Then I
may need to add an RPi and keyboard.  Hey, if I'm going to do this, I might
as well do it right!
