FDIM 2024 LOGIC IC TRANSMITTER CHALLENGE
Congratulations Barb! Great write-up and it was fantastic?to be there to witness it and your winning entry, as well as the presentation at the Saturday banquet.? My fav bit: "Hans Summers from QRP LABS was watching my transmitter performance and his comment made me laugh, ¡°Well done Barb, watch yourself, next year I am coming after you!¡± ?" Hhahaha..... yep too busy this year with preparations for QMX+. But next year! NO new products! NO new firmware! NO nothing! Only logic gate TXs... 73 Hans G0UPL On Thu, May 30, 2024 at 3:20?PM Muhsin TA1MHS via <muhsin.dogrular=[email protected]> wrote:

Congrats Barb
I really enjoyed the write-up, and was really curious as to the secret ingredient and how you obtained nearly twice the power I did. ?I was also at your banquet table.? A fun little competition. I used basically the same IC, but used a push-pull configuration on the theory that it would generate less heat. I did lots of trial & error to find the best turns ratio. As you found out, the eleven volt supply level was the death point for the chip. Your custom circuit board was intimidating, as I typically dead-bug my circuits. Thanks for sharing your design process! 73 Paul K9ARF |
