Without any nonsense, delay, or funny-business, the winner is:
HF/QRP Go-Kit
With a strong lead, and about 31% of the vote, this is the project that all of you picked for me to build! For those who may be curious about where the project they voted for landed, here were the final results (rounded):
- 31% of the vote: HF/QRP Go-Kit
- 16% of the vote: VHF/UHF Winlink Station
- 13% of the vote: VHF/UHF Go-Kit
- 9% of the vote: Portable SDR with Display
- 9% of the vote: Portable WiFi Hotspot
- 9% of the vote: Repeater Controller
- 7% of the vote: Eclipse Propagation Recorder
- 7% of the vote: Satellite Operations Kit
Any of the ideas that you don't see listed above didn't get any votes, which either means the person that suggested them didn't re-appear to vote for their own idea OR they just liked someone else's idea better than their own!
For anyone that needs a reminder, here's the basic starting point of the project that we'll embark on together, now that this has been determined:

HF/QRP Go Kit
The idea here is to use the box to build a small HF station. One of the suggestions involved using one of the popular kits like the BitX or new uBitX, as the basis for the transceiver. There were varying versions of this idea, covering different power levels, focused on different modes - i.e. cw only, ssb only, digital modes only (by including a single board computer), or some combination. For voting, we'll lump all these idea's together, and if this idea wins the vote those details will be hashed through in the planning stages.
That's all for now! Stay tuned, because I will be writing up some information to start defining the details of the project, and to start collecting input on where we go from here. Thanks for joining the fun!
