I think the same thing happened to 73 Magazine. I was told by a very
knowledgable person at NEARFest years ago that 73 Magazine was still being
published. ...

Hi Bill,
No contacts yet but it sounds good into a dummy load. HA!
My plan is to put the whole thing up at the antenna and run the keying leads into the shack. Not shown on the pill bottle cap is a 9V battery connection. At 9V I get about 100mW out. With out the LPF and using 12V I can get about 1/2 watt. Total cost of the project? $0.00
Thanks again for the inspiration to heat up the soldering iron once more.

No cost! That's the HB spirit! I like the LPF and that pill bottle modular construction is very cool.
This is the perfect time of year for CBLA operation on the QRG.

Hi Andrew,Now that is what I call "cost effective". It works so why not!Good show.73'sPeteSent: Tuesday, December 23, 2014 7:15 PMTo: Pete JulianoSubject: Re: Thanks for the heads up on the Si5351Thanks for the heads up regarding the SMA connectors and cables. I will definitely do that. Will probably use my first Si5351 as a network connected signal generator and get another Si5351 module to put "on the air".FYI - rather than using Arduino (or some other microcontroller) I have been using recycled ADSL routers for my Si5351 and MEPT beacons. DLink DSL-502T specifically. These were the standard broadband router down here in ZL about 5 years ago but are now essentially free on the local auction site because everyone wants WIFI. They can be flashed with OpenWRT (a Linux derivative). They have enough GPIO pins that with a bit of configuration can easily control the Si5351 and other I2C devices.Bill talks about "road kill computers".... these are "road kill routers" but at $1 each you can't really go wrong.73Andrew ZL1WJQ
