Our Kit Build get together is coming up in just over a week. If you are planning on joining in on the fun, you need to get your kit ordered ASAP if you haven't done so already!
Several websites were suggested during last night's club meeting. Below I am listing a few ideas for kits based on low-cost and ease of assembly. You are welcome to pick one of these or explore the sites and pick something else.
- - Small Dummy Load
- - Code Practice Oscillator
- - 11db Step Attenuator
- - 41db Step Attenuator
- - Dual Band Trap Dipole Antenna
- - Manual HF Antenna Tuner
And a couple more ambitious kit if you need a challenge:
- - A unique Dummy Load for hotel "DX" contests.
- - ATU-100 Automatic Antenna Tuner
If you are new to electronics and soldering, I suggest sticking with the first two or three ideas. Also, I highly recommend watching a YouTube video or two on proper soldering techniques. Soldering is a skill that anyone can learn with a little practice. Here's a short video to get you started:
I'll see you on the 25th @ 1pm at The Battery Station!
