Trouble shooting the Cricket 40
Ellison
Hello,
I have built my Cricket
40. It transmits about 750 mw, And the reversed beacon spotted the
signal, But I don't have a side-tone, more of a swish type sound.
And, if you listen carefully with an amplified speaker, you can hear signals on 40 meters. Audio way down compared to the pixie. I am guessing that the chip is bad, or one of the 2n7000s. Can anyone point me in the right direction to troubleshooting? Thank you. fun little kit. Kelly Ellison, WB0WQS.

Thanks Don, sorry to hear of the poor conditions. I’ll keep looking but for the cost it may still be worth the chance etc.

Re: Hilltopper 20
Don, W9EBK
Jerry, Since you asked, I'll tell you my story. I built a Hilltopper 20, along with a 20 meter end fed half wave antenna, travel paddle, etc to take with me on a trip to Hawaii. For the 9 days I was on Kauai the sun didn't produce a single sun spot, the solar flux hovered around 68, and my QSO count remained at 0. A Hilltopper 40 would have been a much better idea. I still think the Hilltopper 20 is a good radio and look forward to making some contacts on it this summer. Don, W9EBK

SOTA the Tennessee hillbilly and hillbobbie way
Jerry Brown
One for the record books....
Serpents on the Air....local TV that is! A sheriff's deputy is called to check out couple's activity on a remote country road in our county not too far from our home....
The lawman comes upon a sleeping amorous pair who were oblivious to a pretty sizable rattlesnake who was also checking them out. CRAZY!!!!
Looks like the snake "passed" on this meal! Maybe it was the stench of alcohol that repelled!
72/73, Jerry N4EO

Jerry,

Good choice if that was where your heart was. I was a famIly doctor for 44 years, sometimes getting 3 paychecks a month (3 jobs: office, ER, and county jail) BUT I never worked a day in my life....... practice sprinkled with ham radio, sailing, church work made every day a joy. Now in retirement it seems the energy is gone when the time is available but the radio room is my therapy. Much cheaper than a psychiatrist and much less trouble than a mistress. Ha!

Re: HPF Instructions Errata
Jerry Brown
Dave, Thanks. My kit arrived this week and I will be building before our local ham club meeting in June. I have working 4SQRP LPF built at Ozarkcon a while back. Will be giving talk and short demo with these filters. When I was at MIZZOU for masters in '69 and '70 took graduate course "DIGITAL AND SAMPLE DATA SYSTEMS" and one of my projects was using main frame to emulate/implement Chebyshev analog filter principles as digital filters. That's about the time I decided to bail out of EE for med school :-) 72/73. Jerry N4EO
