06/25/2010 - back in stock, thanks for waiting
There is some corrosion on the board plating, I don't think it should be a problem but I am following up with the board vendor.
The board has been changed slightly and the coils maybe either
prewound binocular cores OR FT37-61 toroids with magnet wire (you wind) so the kit will not look exactly like
the picture.
