@Stormgren thank you.
Your message is important to say no matter what, but was especially relevant to me, since my non-profit just sold out of an SMD pre-soldered QRP HF kit.
Recipients do all the through-hole parts and wind the toroids.
Enough with refusing to leverage modern manufacturing techniques?
I don't expect people to sew all their own clothes.
We received no complaints about this hybrid kit. On the contrary, there were a lot of happy people thst coukd skip SMD.
