I feel like I own a fairly decent library of QRP/homebrewing literature, but there seems to be very little detailed information on… Read More Dual Gate MOSFET Investigations – Biasing

I just received my kit yesterday and was very eager to build the thing, since it’s one vital piece of test gear that I don’t yet have. Stuffing the PCB according to… Read More pQRP LC Meter Kit

I’ve got a half dozen unbuilt kits, an oscillator, single ended mixer, and an audio amp all destined to be a DC receiver (hopefully). An 80M… Read More What’s On Your Bench?
