I would appreciate an email: wn5y@yahoo.com, if you are ordering the Blue Lightning Transceiver for there are a few items that are difficult to get. I will be posting on the home page if there are any delays. If you don't, that's OK, but the order could be delayed about 30 days if I don't have the items in stock.

The easiest is to download the order form at Electroluminescent Kit Order Form or at Blue Lightning Transceiver Order Form.

Fill out the form, save it (as a .rtf or .doc file), then attach it to an email to me.

I will notify you within 1 to 2 days that your order has been received and confirm the total amount.

If you desire, I will calculate the shipping and send an email with the total amount, including shipping.

Back to Top

This receiver has been made to be as easy as possible to build, diagnose, and align as I could conceive.

If you are unsure of your ability to build the Electroluminesent Kit, try building the B & E Receiver Kit first. This kit is an simple version of the ELR kit, using the same superheterodyne theory. A thorough study of the Beginner's and Experimenter's Kit will help you prepare to build and understand the ELR.

Soldering errors will account for 99% of the problems with this kit, so please be careful with your soldering. Have a magnifying glass handy to check your soldering and parts placement.

I have a great list of soldering tutorials on my links page, please check them out if you have not done much soldering.

If you are a beginner, try and find an Elmer (a helping friend in Ham Radio language) to help you build the kit.

Don't hesitate to email with any comments. Your comments help improve the receiver and the instructions.
