-John will be with us all day so, take the opportunity to delve deeper into today’s subjects. He has offered to bring the kit locker with him so plenty of opportunity to stock up on MERG Kits.  If that's not your thing then work on your current project.   We will do our best to help with construction and problem-solving.  Bring your own tools including your soldering iron.
