I have always been a fan of building kits that result in a nice piece of equipment for a reasonable price. Assembling a kit is especially fun when the instructions are clear, the parts readily identifiable, and the drawings accurate and helpful. The Hilltopper 20 from Four State QRP Group follows this pattern. Dave Benson, K1SWL, designed the unit and gives credit to others whose successful designs were incorporated in this kit. QRP (low-power) enthusiasts probably recognize Dave's handiwork as the designer of a long list of QRP radios, including the popular RockMite and SW series, among others.
