Next DiY/Kits Project

CLICK HERE TO SIGNUP

In the past year a few of us have spent time on the odd Tuesdays working on hands-on electronic projects. Our plans for the new year are subject to your inputs and participation. Harry (N3FMO) has suggested we do a ham related project next year in two items from the November QST magazine – a dummy load and an attachable watt meter. Such a load is needed to simulate an actual antenna load for your radio but without generating annoying interference while you run your tests. He has offered to buy the parts in bulk for us to get the best prices, etc. You may build either one or both of the projects.
