Some of my favorite projects
Home
Keyers | My first modern electronic keyer kit is the Code Boy Pup. I reviewed this one in the QRP ARCI Journal. Since then I’ve built several others. The K1EL K-12 is the most recent. I like the K-12 command menu the best.
|
Z-Match ATUs | Z-match antenna tuning units using designs from the notes and articles by Charlie Lofgren, W6JJZ. Rebuilt the ZM-2 with a ‘JJZ dual-tuned coil and dual Z matching links — worked much better.
|
Rock-Mites HiMite-15 | The super little crystal controlled transceiver
from SWL and Dave Benson. Lots of fun to build, make mods, enhancements and operate. Now incldes the new HiMite series. |
Power Meters | Uses the NoGaWatt SWR bridge in combination with a modified Accuprobe kit.
|
Field Strength Meter | Something I built to give me a visual indication of RF output on 80 through 10. Uses a dual-tuned input circuit similar to the W6JJZ z-match coils.
|
Tenna Dipper | One of KD1JV’s, neat kits being sold by 4SQRP to support OzarkCon. It’s used to tune and find antenna resonance.
|
Tiny Tornado |
The Tiny Tornado is a variation of the Pixie II sold as a kit thru QRPp-I. It includes plated through holes on a two-sided PCB. TT is a close to minimal CW transceiver for any 1 band, 80 thru 10.
|
Antennas | Some VHF/UHF quads with my UHMW plastic spreader block and helicals built for 2.4 GHz. (13 cm)
|
Odds and Ends |
A variety of projects that get
used around the shack but aren’t in any specific category. The picture here is the AADE L/C Meter IIB built from a kit. A most useful tool for the builder.
