HNY everyone !
Just finished my build of a 20m QCX yesterday.
Actually , I spent about 8 hours on soldering and testing the kit, but then some 16 hours more on the case … hi
Top:
The case is made from PCB , sprayed with two layers of paint, lettering is just printed on paper and fixed with Scotch tape. (I tried some of the ironing transfer methods, but that didn’t work well … the heat burns the paint, good for copper or aluminium, but not for painted surfaces)
I didn’t bother making a hole for the built-in key, since I intend to use an external key or paddle anyway.
I added an on/off switch to avoid pulling out the battery all the time, and also changed the power input to a round model as used on my KX3, so I can use the same packs as I am used to.
(both are mounted UNDER the QXC board)

Of course, adding the SOTA logo was the finishing touch … 
Hope to take it with me on my first SOTA tour in March.
