Peter Parker, VK3YE, is one of the real DSB Gurus. When I got started in the world of double-wide RF, I would frequently turn to his web site for ideas and inspiration. So you can imagine my delight in getting this e-mail from him (his DSB WSPR video is embedded above):
Hi Bill, Discovered SolderSmoke a few weeks back and love the show. You might be interested that another DSB WSPR station is on air. A video demo appears at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2aUHNRgV7kwIt's still very crude (eg manual T/R switching) and the receiver is getting false spots. However the transmitter is working very well, with some long distance spots. 73, Peter VK3YE
In response to popular demand, "SolderSmoke -- Global Adventures in Wireless Electronics" is now available as an e-book for Amazon's Kindle.

The two versions are identical, except for a minor difference in the paper used. That's why the prices are a bit different.
