Colin,

?

I haven’t used the Sprite in awhile.? Made a detour breadboarding a 1 transistor transceiver called a Pititico, invented by an op n Brazil.

?

It works pretty well, especially since it is only 10 parts.? I eventually managed two QSOs with it, one to a station north of me about 160 miles and another NE of me about 200 miles.? It receives quite well, and RBN has heard me as far as 900 miles.

?

Now I am in process of building a 5W10 transceiver from Kits n Parts.? It is an experimental conversion of the 5W20.

?

I will be playing with the Sprite 20 also off and on while the plague continues to rage.? XYL n I are staying away from everyone including family.? My 50 year-old son, his girlfriend, and her little girl all caught the virus.? He is having a rough time with it, ten days in. He has no idea where he got it.? Probably at his job.? People who say it is a myth have no idea.
