Re: Cricket 80
Hello Dave If you search for NM0S dave Cripe’s website. He sells the 80 meter Crickets. When we retire the kits they go back to the designer. Here is the link 72 Johnny ACØBQ

Is there any interest in reissuing the Cricket 80 kit? Our club is looking for a kit so we could start an 80 m CW net and the other Crickets are too high frequency for a local net.
How many sales would be necessary to reintroduce that kit? Dave K8WPE David J. Wilcox’s iPad

Re: sidetone
Dave Benson
Hi Ted- Nice job all around! From the sound of it, you were doing a Parks on the Air activation. With the cooler weather, I've moved my portable operations into the truck. I use a small tabletop on the passenger side and operate from the driver's seat. It's pretty comfortable- more so than a table and chair outside. My last outing on Friday yielded 82 CW contacts in an hour- what a blast! The picture shows my truck backed up to a dead pine- the antenna support at a trailhead parking area. The temperature was 50F but I was perfectly comfortable without running the truck for heat. I was using an IC-706MkIIg at 60 watts (don't tell anyone <g>). Power was supplied from a 12 AH Lithium Phosphate battery- it's good for several hours of operation at that power level. The antenna was a 20M EFHW. I favor that in the field because only one support is needed. For anyone 'on the fence' about doing this, give it a try! It's a great way to hone your Field operating skills and a chance to experience the receiving end of a pileup. 73- Dave, K1SWL

Re: sidetone
Well, everybody's day is different. I logged a mess of contacts on 5 watts CW today, from 40 to 18 metres, I haven't digested it though it's more than I've logged yet for an activation. A friend, KB3ZDM, showed up and I went QRO to a whole 20 watts so she could do SSB. Pileup on 20 meters for over an hour, around 19:00z. Not every day is like this with actual human conversations between Washington State to Puerto Rico, Maine to SoCal, and RBN hits in eastern Europe, from the middle eastern seaboard I'm simply saying one can have a ball with stuff that one can carry with one arm bag or a briefcase, and a hand for a tower & tripod extra. No doubt as the days get colder, I'll hide in the car and maybe add 120 watts to it. -Ted K3RTA Justice will not come (to Athens) until those who are not injured are as indignant as those who are injured.

Re: sidetone
Charles W. Powell
Me too (regarding higher power). On park activations you want a lot of folks to hear you. I have done a number of activations with 5 watts, but with conditions the way they are right now it's pretty frustrating to get more than a few contacts with QRP. POTA only requires 10 contacts for a successful activation, but WWFF requires 44. 72, Chas - NK8O

I’m going to try one of these.
I did a home brew version that used a 555 timer and it never worked!
I finally sent it file 13.

Re.: Side tone solutions ...
Here's a pic of an assembled "W1FB" sidetone generator.
I built it Manhattan style. It works great. I highly recommend this build to anyone interested in trying their hand at home brewing.

Ive built alot of his circuits in the past. Still have his book "qrp notebook" love the sections of homebrewing your own variable capacitors. It might be in another book but i thought its in this one. He was in my book one of the most innovative designers of our time.
