Re: 30 METER BEACON PHOTOS AND CAPTURES
You are correct there is some rf on the coax. Note the power box , the small one with metal plate. this has a type M coaxial power socket and an F connector, a 7805 IC drops the voltage to 5v. I can

Re: Hans Summer's web page 30m transmitter
Hi Mike
Even I can't tell you that, sorry :-( Looks like I shrunk that diagram too much. The good news is that the values are entirely non critical. You could try with 33k in both positions to

Thanks Hans,
I figured I might experiment with that design until you're able to start shipping kits.

Photos of a 30m beacon build, and a question about the oscillator frequency
Hi All-
This week I finally put together the 30m QRSS beacon kit I bought from
G0UPL at FDIM. I added a 5v linear regulator to allow operation from
a 9V battery, and an LED to show keying activity,

Re: Photos of a 30m beacon build, and a question about the oscillator frequency
Success! I'm QRV now and visible on ON5EX's grabber. It looks like I'm
centered at about 10.140.0010 MHz, slowly drifting down, with a shift
of 4 or 5 Hz. That is about what I estimated at home using

I have gotten captures from both in the last few days.
I will have to check the DX grabbers and see if I can be seen. From the mid south I

The QRSS grabber compendium http://digilander.libero.it/i2ndt/grabber/grabber-compendium.htm is a great place to start, for finding the grabbers. I guess
