N7RCS: Keeping it clean
http://n7rcs.blogspot.com/2013/02/keeping-it-clean.html
Low-cost, low-power, low-profile, QRP ham radio from the Pacific Northwest. "There is a pleasure in achieving creditable results by the simplest means.". I've been searching for a way to keep dust off my KX3 and Bencher key. For a while I was just placing a piece of scratch paper over each unit after shutting down. Not the most elegant solution. Then I asked my XYL, who has considerable sewing skills, whether she could make equipment covers for me. Posted by Jim S. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom).

N7RCS: The NS-40 kit and custom enclosure
http://n7rcs.blogspot.com/2012/03/completed-ns-40-kit.html
Low-cost, low-power, low-profile, QRP ham radio from the Pacific Northwest. "There is a pleasure in achieving creditable results by the simplest means.". The NS-40 kit and custom enclosure. That said, I later learned that I should probably have been using a step drill bit. Now for the acid test. Would the NS-40. To this point I had not even fired it up as I had no connections in place for power, antenna or key. So I really had no idea whether it was even going to work or whether the xtals I purchased...

Low-cost, low-power, low-profile, QRP ham radio from the Pacific Northwest. "There is a pleasure in achieving creditable results by the simplest means.". Update: Custom front panel.

Low-cost, low-power, low-profile, QRP ham radio from the Pacific Northwest. "There is a pleasure in achieving creditable results by the simplest means.". 4-State QRP Group MagicBox solid state Transmit/Receive System. This turned out to be a very satisfying weekend project. Although I must admit I put in several hours inventorying and organizing all components which made for a very smooth process of "stuffing" the circuit board. There are images of the finished board.

http://n7rcs.blogspot.com/2013/02/mobile-operation-pullman-wa.html
Low-cost, low-power, low-profile, QRP ham radio from the Pacific Northwest. "There is a pleasure in achieving creditable results by the simplest means.". Mobile operation: Pullman, WA. Within the first few minutes I responded to V73NS calling CQ, having no idea about his QTH. Turns out it was Neil Schwanitz in the Marshall Islands. From there I QSO'd with Ted in Sioux City, Nebraska, then N1WPU in Maine. I also worked Valery, UA0ZC. For me, this is some of Ham radio at its best! Posted by Jim S.

Low-cost, low-power, low-profile, QRP ham radio from the Pacific Northwest. "There is a pleasure in achieving creditable results by the simplest means.". NS-40 QRP transmitter status. Worked this weekend to complete the NS-40. I decided to do a modification that allows me to swap crystals instead of being limited to the one provided in the kit. The idea came from Jay - W5JAY. Now all I need to do is find a supplier with a reasonable cost. Posted by Jim S. NS-40 QRP transmitter status. Posted by Jim S.
