Those large "steering wheels" on the regen rig caught my attention, and I'm glad they did, because they led me to the sites of Danny ON1MWS.

Danny writes on his QRZ page:
I'm especially interested in homebrewing my own station. everything from the power supply to the antenna is scratch-build. I have no commercial ham gear, nor do I use pre-fabricated kits or DDS chips.
My gear is a toy compared to a modern station. And it will never even come remotely close to commercial gear. However, the journey to learn how radio circuits work, improve the station and add capabilities over the years has been satisfying. R&D as amusement.

FB Danny! Thanks for the rigs and web sites. 73 Bill N2CQR
This is 100% innovation. Brilliant use of available materials, especially all those Altoid (?) tins. Modular construction and big tuning knobs- this site is so worth going through in detail.
ReplyDeleteAnd his line " R&D as amusement" --clever!
Bill, you have to QSO this guy!
