Re: Help Identify Kit
Good observation, but I did not provide you with enough details. The ICs are wrapped in foil, not visable in the photo. The 6-pin IC has to be from something else, he had various unassembled kits, stuffed into the same bag. The XTALs are there. I need to do an inventory, but first... I searched for a manual for this. Came up with some, but my board is slightly different from all the manuals I found online. I just joined the SWKits on groups.io. Will be posting there to see if I can come up with the correct manual. Interesting little project. 73, Richard AG5M On Saturday, March 22, 2025 at 05:46:57 AM PDT, soddy N4NMN via groups.io <otherjunknstuff@...> wrote: The 28 pins could just be quantity 7 of the 8 pin ICs up against one another.

CW Practice / Rag Chew
开云体育On 3/21/25 I had a CW practice / rag chew session on 20 meters. I worked seven stations. I even worked some DX:
Conditions were OK with QSB on all stations. SSN = 139, SFI = 170, A = 6, K = 2. My next CW practice session will be?March 23 at 15:00 EDT / 19:00 UTC on 20 meters.?Anyone and everyone is welcome. This practice is intended for operators who are new to CW or they need some practice. IT DOES NOT MATTER HOW POOR YOUR CW IS. Mistakes are OK. Poor fists are OK. Slow speed is OK. Really slow speed is OK. This practice is meant for you to improve your CW. I will do my best to adjust to your skill level. Operate at any power level. If several stations show up, I will operate as a round-table control station. I will do it as a round-table so everyone gets a chance to transmit. Please listen to my directions. Details: Date - March 23 2025 Time - 15:00 EDT ?19:00 UTC Band - 20 Meters How to find me - I will find a clear frequency and call CQ. Go to the Reverse Beacon Network and search for my call sign AB8DF. That will tell you what frequency I am on. Tune your station to that frequency and if you hear me give me a call. If there is a QSO in progress, please wait for a break in the action. Then send your callsign. If I hear you, I will invite you to join the QSO and start a round-table QSO. Reply to this email if you have questions. IT DOES NOT MATTER HOW POOR CW IS Ed AB8DF |

Re: Help Identify Kit
"...where does the time go?" Tell me about it. I got my ticket 72 years ago and it seems like that was a blink of an eye. The purpose of Time is to keep everything from happening at once. It's not working... Jack, W8TEE

Re: Help Identify Kit
Now that you mention it, he did have some QRP Labs kits and I know for a fact he never assembled them. But I did not come across any when I was going through his stuff. It looks as if this it what it is - https://www.flickr.com/photos/kb1awv/2389758695/in/photostream 73, Richard AG5M On Friday, March 21, 2025 at 03:40:21 PM PDT, John KY4WW via groups.io <jmdanner@...> wrote: Looks like it. Maybe some parts from other kits. If he had any QRP Labs kits the 28 pin package could be one of their microprocessors. ?The QCX firmware upgrade was to replace theATmega328P chip. It's a 28 pin package. John KY4WW |

Re: Help Identify Kit
No, not sure it is complete. I'm sure there were extra parts from something else in the bag. Another Ham mentioned it is, or might be, an NE4040 designed by NN1G (now K1SWL) and in QST Nov 1994. I'll look in QST. 73, Richard AG5M On Friday, March 21, 2025 at 02:24:58 PM PDT, John KY4WW via groups.io <jmdanner@...> wrote: Are you sure it's complete. Can't see a place for the 28 pin IC. And looks short a few of the 8 pin chips. And I don't see a place for the power jack to be soldered in. Are there numbers on the ICs? John KY4WW?
