Dale,
Since I last posted on this thread, two things occurred. I sold the amp kit and I bought an Yaseu FT-817 QRP rig. At first I wanted to get a good SW receiver for the bedside, but a good one with SSB would cost at least $400. So I figured for $200 or so more I could have a good receiver that will also transmit and will cover 2m and 440 too. So now I can try QRP. Also, congrats on the Extra!
