Mark, Use crystals? that are not 5MHZ. You can purchase crystals that are slightly above 5 and some below 5mhz. WWV will be a pain, depending how strong WWV is into your QTH.

We have a dozen folks or so in our club¡¯s ¡°Builders¡± group that are building the Daylight Radio.? We¡¯ve completed the PTO, BFO Crystal Oscillator, and the Crystal Filter.? Next up is the 7MHZ Receiver Input Filter.? We¡¯ll build the receiver first, and then move to the transmitter.

?

We all are building Manhattan style.? Dave Hassall, WA5DJJ is leading the group.

Just curious how many here are building, or planning to build, Farhan's Daylight Radio.

How far along are you and do you have any tips for those of us just starting?

It looks like a fun project and something different from most of the recent projects I've done. I recently read Bill Meara's Soldersmoke book and it got me motivated to tackle a project like this. I haven't built anything like it for a long time. Hopefully it'll be a nice learning (or re-learning) project.

My plan is to do it modularly either dead bug or Manhattan style...probably the VFO first then the receiver section and then the transmitter if everything goes well. Any advice along those lines would be appreciated.
