WØEA Blog!: An EFHW Matcher in the Style of Par End Fedz
http://www.w0ea.us/2013/06/an-efhw-matcher-in-style-of-par-end-fedz.html
QRP Ham Radio, Portable Operating, SOTA, Homebrew and more! Thursday, June 20, 2013. An EFHW Matcher in the Style of Par End Fedz. With my MTR project wrapping up, I thought I could retool the Par antenna to make a really tiny and lightweight EFHW even more minimal than the one I built before. The idea was to replicate the PAR matcher since it does not require a big, variable capacitor. Luckily someone had already torn into that black box and found what was inside. ( that article is here. I added an eyel...

http://www.w0ea.us/2012/08/steve-webers-mtr.html
QRP Ham Radio, Portable Operating, SOTA, Homebrew and more! Friday, August 3, 2012. I was a bit aprehensive myself but found the assembly to be very enjoyable, though it was somewhat challenging. You don't improve if you don't try new things! I would have been lost without one. About that Altoids tin. They're great for QRP rigs, sure, but pretty ugly and I wanted something more fitting of the classiness of this radio! So it looks great, but how does it perform? This is a real radio! Obviously it doesn't ...

WØEA Blog!: Tuning an Elk....or something like that
http://www.w0ea.us/2015/06/tuning-elkor-something-like-that.html
QRP Ham Radio, Portable Operating, SOTA, Homebrew and more! Wednesday, June 17, 2015. Tuning an Elk.or something like that. You all certainly remember my escapades from a few weeks ago working FO-29 from the roof of the parking garage. Well it turns out I was having a few issues with SWR but I just chalked it up to crummy coax. Then I tried to work SO-50 in the parking lot at work with one of my co-workers but it turned out to be a terrible demonstration too! He had put all the elements on one side on th...

WØEA Blog!: 80m = no good. 6m = good.
http://www.w0ea.us/2015/06/80m-no-good-6m-good.html
QRP Ham Radio, Portable Operating, SOTA, Homebrew and more! Sunday, June 7, 2015. 80m = no good. 6m = good. We finally finished unpacking the living room and kitchen this weekend so we took the boxes and materials back to our storage unit and while we were there, I grabbed my other 2 hamsticks I had in a box there for 40 and 80m. Something. so I think I'll have to put off 80m for now! It is no loss, 40m will be a lot of fun itself and I can probably squeeze out 30m too. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom).

QRP Ham Radio, Portable Operating, SOTA, Homebrew and more! Monday, August 3, 2015. The War on RFI: Mission Accomplished. I am happy to report, I have quashed the RFI enemy, and we have entered a peace keeping role! After completing the video and post yesterday regarding my new balun, I still was having some thumping in my powered speakers. I thought it was coming from my mixer as the issue went away when I unplugged the speakers from the mixer. Moral of the story? Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom).
