Peter VK3TPM is a long-time member of the SolderSmoke community. He is a software developer and technology commentator based in Melbourne. But that digital background did not stop him from diving headfirst into this highly analog project. He fought a lot to get the stages of his receiver working properly. The AF amp was full of challenges. He overcame all of them and ended up with a very fine looking and sounding receiver. See above.
Going the extra mile, Peter took his newfound abilities into the world of phone transmitters. He whipped up a 75 meter DSB transmitter and used it to check into two Australian Technical nets:
This is really great. You can see the look of pleasure and pride in Peter's face as he uses his machine to send his voice far across Australia and into Tasmania. This is the kind of satisfaction that comes from homebrew.
I am encouraging him to combine the his DC receiver with additional stages (perhaps from the DSB transmitter) to make a DC-DSB transciever.
Thanks Peter!
