My new workplace LED lamp has arrived and is installed. This is so much better than my own solution!

I have now started to assemble the two PCBs for the Uni DDS-VFO of the QRP project. My plan is to replace the analog VFO in my old CW transceiver HW9 with this modern version.

This should give it much more frequency stability and I also plan to add some functionality by re-programming the used PIC microprocessor.

The basic assembly went well so far, but I got stuck for the moment because the distance holders, that were supplied with the Uni-DDS kit, are too long.

I'm now waiting for my order from Reichelt to arrive, and then the work can continue.
