I think it would be fun! The kits I ordered (not yet received) are a FM transmitter with no crystal. So its kinda mind blown how it works with a single transistor.

It both demystifies and adds more layers to radio I think.

But mainly the fun. On the tape, I would walk through the soldering steps so it would be a solder-a-long. 

 Awesome (hopefully) sub-$10/kits...surely all things now reside inside of a Si5153 maybe thats too dark. Regardless will be fun as hell 

 I think the kits cost me sub $2 :). There's no IC on this transmitter even! 

The most complex component is a NPN transistor :)

You'll like it. I can't wait until they come in. 

 Sounds perfect! Can't wait to hear more about it.
