NorCal BLTuner PCB art? never mind, I re-created it myself :)

After all, we are QRP DIYers, right?  Pulled the oblique angle image from the instructions into Photoshop and re-created it, hopefully fairly close to scale.  Then I exported the JPEG into Vectric V-Carve Pro to create toolpaths (G-Code) for my CNC.  On the left you see the original and on the right is a preview image of the toolpaths.

A while back, I bought the kit, which had been originally purchased by K6ZAN but after he became a Silent Key, it wound up back in circulation.  The pcb that was with the kit wasn’t etched.  So this is my first time using isolation routing to make a pcb.
