In my teenage years as a ham there was very little affordable commercial gear on the market. Most of our transmitting gear was home brew by necessity, at least until Heathkit came along. I think we all got used to watching our projects go up in smoke. My mother always worried that I would burn the hose down - probably with good cause! I still joke with my friend Ed (W7MAD) about using a "broomstick" when first turning a newly built radio "on", and standing far enough back to observe the smoke and sparks! I continue to like building things as a fun part of the hobby.
If you have an interesting project you think would fit this page plese email it to me at
