Chuck, W5USJ, has posted three simple projects to get you started in using surface-mount devices (SMDs). They include:

• a version of the QRPme Two Tin Tuna (TTT2) transmitter,
• the PK-DC Keyer, and
• an RF Probe.

Chuck has a PC board layout for each of these simple projects and describes how to fabricate the PC board as well. Very good work, Chuck!
