The 40m band is a great place for DXing! I don’t have the tall supports needed for a dipole or beam, so a vertical antenna works best for me. I do have a convienent...

Simple CW 10 m TX 0

Simple 10m CW Transmitter. Circuit Diagram.

The original circuit by the late Doug DeMaw W1FB, differs slightly from the one shown here. Two immediate differences are: A regulated DC supply for better frequency stability and a 2-pole low-pass filter for...

Variable Power Supply Unit. DIY.

This little circuit is a copy of a design which was built around twenty years ago. The heart of the unit is based around a 723 regulator chip. It has variable voltage and current...

6m to10m converter 0

6m to 10m converter

This circuit is based around mixer/oscillator IC2. A 50mHz signal is fed to pin1 input of IC2 and mixed with the local oscillator injected at pin7. The resultant output is the antenna frequency minus...
