Thanks Steve. Surely one of the benefits of kit building—besides learning about toroid winding—must be in the ideas they suggest for other projects. At least that has been so in my experience. Good luck with the DSP study.

Hi Lloyd,
I don't have a write-up. That is something for me to work on. There isn't anything particularly original in the xmiter. It is an accumulation of ideas/design formulas from other places. I wanted to try a Class E amplifier after using the Bayou Jumper. This project is a way for me to learn more by doing and letting the magic smoke out of some parts along the way:). I have replaced several 2N2907's used for keying the power to the PA. My next step is to try to clean some things up with the transmitter. LTSpice shows about 5W output, but I am only getting 3W. I want to verify I am actually driving the MOSFET (IRF510) into Class E. I bought a receiver board kit from QRPLabs. I want to route the I & Q audio output from that board to the teensy microcontroller for DSP filtering. There is a QRP project, KeithSDR, that is built around the QRPLabs receiver board and the teensy microcontroller. I thought I would try to use some of their work, and see what I can do with the receiver. Anyway, it's fun and fun to get the rig on the air. I figured this group would appreciate another homebrew rig. 73, Steve WD4CFN

Ge Paul Yes, 40 meters was rough sledding tonight. Good job on the 60 meter contact. 72 Johnny ACØBQ

Well,
Again no copy on Johnny 40 meters. I heard a few stations trying to
QNI...
Much better on 80 meters, Johnny!
After net I moved up to 60 meters, and on channel 1 I answered AC7AF
who was calling CQ. He heard my 5 watts in Rock Springs, WY! We had a nice chat
for almost 20 minutes. What a surprise!

Signals were pretty spotty on 40 Meters, they were
wither
599 or 539 and most had bacd qsb.
THat being said, some of you made it in!
