Duane, This is Bob, K6KL; now living in ND. I am a CW enthusiast, and have developed a gadget I call "The CW Box". It sends any CW message you want, like CQ's (in multiple forms), QRZ's, etc. You migh

Jim, I'm very late hearing about the Hilltopper. Where can I get more description, and an order form or instructions? Tnx es 73, Bob - K6KL

There was a time when we had QST, CQ, 73 and Ham Radio magazines. That was back when you had to demonstrate at least minimal CW skills to get a license. Now all that has changed, and we are down to ju

Frank, I think I understand ur thought. Call me at 701-880-8841, and I think I can be of some help. 73 - Bob, K6KL

Rob, Buy yourself an AA-54 from RigExpert, or some newer model if there is one. You will quickly see how useful it is for almost antenna situations. I swear by mine, and I've been doing antenna work (

The "antenna analyzer" I prefer is the Rig Expert AA-54. I bought one of these some years ago, and would not be without it. It's a hand-held unit that shows you a plot of VSWR vs frequency all across

The BEST such device IMHO is the digital Peak Atlas LCR-40. If you like to build circuits for ham radio or any other electronics activity, you will find yourself reaching for your LCR40 more than any

John, What are the frequency areas for SSS? Tnx es 73 - Bob, K6KL

If y'all will permit one more opinion: For MY money, the Peak Atlas LCR40 is a dynamite product. I wouldn't be without mine. And I have been building electronic devices since 1954. And in the way of f

Don, I'd like to buy it at $30, is still available. Would a personal check be OK? 73 - Bob, K6KL

Dale, I guess this means someone else got the J-38. But thanks for letting me know. 73 - Bob, K6KL

Dale, if no one else has first dibs, I'd like to buy that J-38. 73 - Bob, K6KL BTW - Abraham Lincoln was misquoted. What he really said was: "CW speaks louder than any voice mode."

Thanks Marty. 73 - Bob, K6KL

OK, a pretty box. But I don't understand why you provided this link, with absolutely no explanation. What am I supposed to be able to do with it ? 73 - Bob, K6KL PS - I must confess - In general, I HA

Jim (N5IB), Tnx ur email. It contains a lot of good info on making pcb's. Much of it things I was not aware of. Now I see that ExpressPCB is not the only game in town. Atho for my needs I will probabl

Another opinion: I get ALL my pc boards made by Express PCB (see www.expresspcb.com). For several reasons: 1. I prefer to spend my time on ELECTRONIC design (eg, circuit design), not the ins and outs

Oops. I think I should have said 7163, NOT 7063. Bob, K6KL

Good info Sam. Tnx fer passing it along. I expect those old slat-board designs would still work just fine. And for those curious enuff to look into it, the vacuum tube is a lot easier to grok than the

Wish I still had my Novice rig. it was a 6V6 xtal oscillator built on two strips of 1x2 wood, from an idea in an issue of CQ magazine of about 1951 or 1952 vintage, IIRC. But I built it about 1956 - w

Paul, Pse send a regular link. I'n not into Outlook. Tnx. 73 - Bob, K6KL
