This web page is the amazing works of Jim Kortge K8IQY and Larry Przyborowski K3PEG

Jim designed this full featured 40 meter CW rig and it has been built
by many hams by way of the comprehensive documentation by Paul Harden NA5N in the QRPP magazine.

Only one problem there.
The magazine article is copyrighted materials and you will NOT find those
drawings anywhere on the internet.
BUT
then came the next superman of homebrew circuit drawings, Larry Przyborowski K3PEG.
Larry has taken us to the next level of project building by literally drawing the parts
as they look when you solder them to the board as you can see in this example below.





Here are some words from Larry about his work:
'Extreme Manhattan'
I named this 'Extreme Manhattan' because IMHO believe I've taken "Manhattan"
construction to another level. By extreme I mean going to great or
exaggerated lengths to present a new way to illustrate "Manhattan"
construction.

Most hams will continue to build "Manhattan" style over bare copper board,
and there's nothing wrong with that; however, my "EM" layout, in pdf file
format, serves a "Manhattan" style builder in a few ways:
A.) The layout can be magnified many times and utilized as an aid while
building either Jim's 2n2/20 or 2n2/40+ transceiver designs.
B.) A Laser or Inkjet printout should result in a 1-to-1 copy that can be
used to locate components, pads and grounds.
C.) Components are color coded for ease of identification. In a few cases
one will need to refer to the schematic diagram for component information,
e.g. toroidal transformer and inductor information.

D.) The EM printout, printed on letter-size label paper (Avery 8255)can be
applied to copper clad. Doing so prevents copper tarnishing and serves as a
pictorial guide for construction.
EM is for duplicating a proven design. Microsoft PowerPoint 2003 was used to
generate my EM layouts.
There you are, that's "Extreme Manhattan".
