Fascinating read on the history of QRP Labs and the evolution of compact QRP transceiver designs
|
Hi all,
?
I've recently jumped into a couple of QRP Labs projects, including a QMX that I managed to break within hours of getting it (I think I blew the finals when I attached it to my mag loop, even though it's supposed to have SWR protection) and a QCX kit that I have yet to build. I'm about ready to replace the four BS170 MOSFETS in the QMX which will hopefully get it back on the air.?
?
At any rate, I came across this accounting from Hans Summers G0UPL, the founder and owner of the company, on his journey from being an investment banker in Japan to quitting his career to pursue the QRP Labs business, which involves many twists and turns including a move to Turkey. It's a fascinating read and also a great treatise on various ways to design compact, cost efficient transceivers. Definitely worth a read!
