Helge has done it again! He has shown us the benefits of homebrew CW. And he has done it with one tube. FB Helge.
Of course, I really liked the wooden box. His is a lot nicer looking than mine. I also liked how he carefully laid out the parts -- I seem to be stuck in my 13 year-old "build then design" mode. Helge's way of doing it is better: design, build. In that order!
Some will quibble about a lack of 700 Hz offset between transmit and recieve. With a VFO rig, this could lead to the stations chasing each other across the band. But Helge is crystal controlled here, so I don't see a problem. Is that right? Please comment below.
Thank you Helge for another great rig, a great schematic, and for showing us your obvious joy at reaching 400 km across the sea to your friend in Norway. FB!
