That's what I get for not wearing my glasses! The Second Sunday Sprint is on SUNDAY, November 13th, not November 15th. Thanks for the correction. 72, John AA0VE

Reminders
John Lonigro
This coming Sunday, 15 November, is the Second Sunday Sprint. As usual, it will be held from 7:00 pm to 9:00 pm, central time, which is now Central Standard Time, not Central Daylight Time. As a result, if you use UTC, the Sprint time is now 0100-0300Z Monday. Confusing, isn't it?
Regardless, you can find pertinent details at QRPCONTEST.COM/4SQRP. That's also where you will enter your score. As I said previously, it would be nice if a lot of people tried to participate, in order to get more activity in these times when propagation is suffering. Speaking of participating, don't forget the informal CW nets this evening at 7:30 PM (7122 kHz) and 8:00 PM (3564 kHz). There will be a PSK31 net at 8:30 PM (3580.5 kHz). All times listed are CST. 72, John AA0VE

Re: Resources to design transcievers
Curt
Paul
get to know others in the building community -- a few rapid suggestions -- EMRFD book by W7ZOI and others -- out-of-print at the moment Soldersmoke website and podcoast Websites of K8IQY, AA7EE, N5IB and others Start small on your homebrew projects, and work your way up. Also consider modular construction on smaller boards, so you can more easily make changes -- and re-use modules. get some basic test equipment -- some of it can be homemade. join EMRFD and QRP-Tech yahoo groups. learn from others designs -- even the one's kitted. learn from your own errors and difficulties -- when a project goes perfect, the opportunity to learn is less. don't fret what you can't purchase or find -- collect the most commonly used parts and gather/build some useful test equipment. a signal source can be a simple xtal oscillator, a power detector can be based upon a diode detector -- or commercial log amplifier.

Re: Resources to design transcievers
Phil <w0xiphil@...>
Hello Paul,
The sources are many; the question is which to look at.
A good starting place might be to check the resources that the ARRL has to
offer. Take a look at their website.
If it is your first design, I’d suggest that you consider a basic
single-conversion receiver with a crystal oscillator.
There you’d need a tuned circuit front end (from antenna), a mixer – such
as the NE602 – and an audio amplifier,
perhaps the LM386.
You can find circuit configurations (suggestions) for using those chips by
using your browser. For example, type in NE602, and you’ll get a
list of websites to look at. Most of the chip vendors include a technical
specification and suggestive circuits.
Good luck and have fun. One other item. You can use the formulas in the
ARRL handbook to figure out what L and C values you’ll need
for each tuned circuit.
73,
Phil, W0XI

I have been building kits from other countries and decided it was about time to bring my enjoyment to a new level. Instead of building kits I would like to try my hand at designing and building my own transceiver. I do have a basic understanding in electronics and mathematics, however I have not had much experience in the experimental side of our hobby.
Does anyone has any favorite resources they would share? Thank you, Paul KG5NKW

Re: Resources to design transcievers
gary rheuark
Hello Paul, What band, what power level and what mode? I just finished 25 watts CW on 475 KHZ.....Also, an inexpensive 3450 MHZ AM design.....Progress is being made on a 22 dollar voice transceiver on 2445 MHZ.... I have done a lot of circuit boards also.....The attached photo shows a 3 board set that can be adapted for roughly 200 KHZ to 15 MHZ CW..... The small board on the left is the CW oscillator-driver board.....All harmonics are at least 60 dBs down..... The big board in the middle is the FET power amplifier.....Tuned and also has impedance matching to get a 50 Ohm output.....With harmonics..... The board on the right is a low pass filter that runs cool and harmonics are down at least 60 dBs.....Runs cool at 25 watts..... All this on a 4" by 6" piece of circuit board..... As you can gather, I use all bands and modes of operation..... If I can help.....Gary...K5QNM...EM36 in Missouri..... garyk5qnm@...

FOX: FOXHUNT SEASON opener
Dale Putnam
Greetings! The 2016-2017 Winter Fox Hunts start this coming Tuesday. Everyone is welcome to participate, and we can still use a few more qualified Foxes.
This is one of the premier events that CQC sponsors, and it gets us a lot of attention across the country, so please support it! Participate as a Hound, and if you feel up to the task of being Fox don't hesitate to put in an application at http://www.qrpfoxhunt.org
Each Tuesday (40M) and Thursday (80M) there will be two Foxes available-- catch them if you can. It's easy (sometimes) and fun (always) and great training for busting a DX pileup and or handling one if you are the Fox. The Hunts start at 0100Z and run for an hour and a half. All the details can be found at http://www.qrpfoxhunt.org Check out the rules, and bookmark the home page because that's your gateway to the schedule and the results as the season progresses. The QRP Fox Hunts are also at home on Yahoo Groups at https://groups.yahoo.com/neo/groups/qfox and even on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/groups/219719414724171/ or search for QRP Fox Hunt. Both groups are public, so come on in and join us.
Good Luck Tuesday to start it off!!
Have a great day,

Bayou Jumper and Second Sunday Sprint
John Lonigro
I just inserted "Bayou Jumper" into the subject line to make sure I grabbed everyone's attention (hi). The Second Sunday Sprint is next Sunday, November 13th, from 7:00 - 9:00 pm central standard time (0100-0300Z Monday). It is NOT tonight.
Note: If and when you buy and assemble the Bayou Jumper, a 7122 kHz crystal is included with the radio. That is the most popular 40M frequency for both the Second Sunday Sprint and the 4SQRP 40M nets. With the band conditions lately, it is important that lots of folks tune in to the SSS. You might even call CQ once or twice, to scare up some contacts. You can expect one or two additional reminders as the week progresses. 72, John AA0VE
