This is a low power 20Meter SSB Tranceiver kit. It was a fun but complex kit taking a week
of evenings to assemble. Then I thought it would be fun to design a Digital Dial with a simple processor design
that would control a few functions of the radio. The details for this project click the title.

I own an old FT-100D Multimode all band 100 Watt radio that is
in full working order so I thought I would mount it semi-permanent as a mobile unit. I decided on a Screw-Driver-Antenna
and chose the Alpine Screw Driver Antenna as it looked to fit my need and was in a price range I could almost afford.

Here you can find information about
my RMS Winlink Public Access Server station that is on HF and VHF Packet. This station
is open to all that can reach it, 24/7/24 on both 40 Meters or VHF. It was an interesting project and it offers something
back to the Ham community.

This is my Emergency Communications deployment Go-Box project. I wanted a single box that
had everything equipment wise that I night need for an initial Emergency Communications Deployment. Click the title to see my design for a Go-Box design.

I also have been working on a QRP
Go-Box, or more of a QRP Go-Bag. The Idea is to make this very protable and light weight
all mode HF/VHF/UHF station and to be self contained. Click the title to

This pasge outlines my D-STAR HotSpot
project that I use at my home QTH. It allows me access into the D-STAR network eventhough I am a little to far away
to to bring up the closest repeater without using the roof mounted external antenna. This project allows me to be portable 'backyard'.

This is my first Small Magnetic Loop
Antenna project. It is designed to work from 30 Meters up to 10 Meters. It is made from copper water tubing.
Initial tests look good. I still a lot to do to make it usable as I plan to add remote
tuning to the design so it can be mounted at the back of the property making it not too visible to the neighbors.

This purpose of this project was to repackaged an early model HF-Packer Amplifier used
with the FT-817 radio. The original packaging was very simple and not up to what I wanted in a chassis
and I did not like the sharp edges of the external heat sink. This is how I solved that problem.

I picked up an old Heathkit SB-200 Linear Amplifier. This is what I did to restore it to ‘Better
Than’ new. .
