- Subject: Project 2 - 20 meter QRP CW xmtr
-
- Here's the second QRP project taken from 101 EASY HAM RADIO PROJECTS,
- by Robert Brown and Tom Kneitel; again, since the book is out of print,
- I assume there will be no copyright problems...
- This project is a simple 20 meter CW xmtr with output about 100 mw (?).
- Here are the authors' comments:
- "If you have always wanted to try low-power on 20 meters, here is an
- excellent method for joining the growing ranks of flea-power addicts -
- and doing it inexpensively. This circuit is capable of world-wide QSO's,
- given the right conditions and assuming QRM is not present.
- "The transmitter uses a pair of GE-1 universal replacement transistors
- in a unique circuit configuration a great more sophisticated than you
- would normally expect for an under-one-watt rig. Crystal can be a
- fundamental 14-mHz type.
- "L1 should be adjusted for sure-fire oscillation every time the
- key is depressed. C4 is simply adjusted for maximum output on the FSM."
-
- PARTS LIST:
-
- C1, C2 .02 uF capacitors
- C3, C5 .002 uF capacitors
- C4 51 pF variable capacitor
- L1 38 turns of No. 22 enameled wire on a 1/2 in. diameter
- slug-tuned form
- L2 8 turns of No. 22 enameled wire wound over cold end of L1
- L3 Coil, 17 turns of Air Dux 616T (or equiv.) tapped 5 1/2
- turns from cold end
- L4, L5 2.5 mH rf choke (National R-100 or equiv.)
- M1 1.5 volt dry cell
- M2 6 volt battery
- M3 14 mHz crystal
- Q1, Q2 GE-1 transistors
- R1 180 ohm resistor
- R2 1.1 megohm resistor
-
- As before, rather than trying to `draw' the symbol for each component,
- I've just inserted the part number. Oh, note the polarities of the
- batteries M1 and M2. GND = ground, ANT = antenna, E = emittor, ANT
- C = collector, B = base, KEY = well, this is a CW rig.... |

-
-
- United Press International 1993
- November 6, 1993, Saturday, BC cycle
-
- DATELINE: BEIJING
- BODY: China's highest leaders have issued new regulations restricting
- access to radio frequencies in the latest of a series of moves to assert
- control over media, a state-run newspaper reported Saturday.
- The order, approved by President Jiang Zemin and Premier Li Peng, was
- designed to end ''disorder in the management of radio communications, the
- use of frequencies and establishment of radio stations,'' the official
- China Daily said.
-
- ''Those found operating radio stations and using radio frequencies
- without official approval will be subject to inspection and punishment,''
- Wu Jichuan, minister of posts and telecommunications, told the newspaper.
- The regulations legalize the state's monopoly over radio
- communications, including mobile telephones, pagers, telecommunications,
- and radio and television stations.
- The article did not specify when the regulations would become
- effective.
- ''All radio stations, whether run by individuals or units, must obtain
- approval from radio management committees and observe the new 10- part
- regulations,'' the article said.
-
-
- The regulations were the latest in a recent spate of edicts aimed at
- controlling both broadcast and print media.

- Well this isn't too theoretical an answer, but I suspect that it was developed

- Since these use whips that a MUCH shorter than 1/4 wave they have very high
- impedance and consequently connecting them to a feedline with lots of

-
- After reading the previous threads of gloom and doom about Hamvention
- parking and lack of bus service, I received the annual flyer in the mail
- today advertising the Hamvention. According to this flyer the situation
- shouldn't be near as bad as some ppl have predicted. The paragraphs I've
- reproduced below should be of interest to some:
-
- Parking...
- There are approximately 8000 privately owned pay-to-park parking spaces
- near Hara Arena. We have again arranged for free parking at Forest Park,
- Salem Mall, Dayton Mall, Mendelson Electronics, the Meijer store at Route
- 48 and I-70, and at the Air Force Museum.
- Campers, trailers (self-contained vehicles) or vehicles that require more
- than one space will _not_ be permitted to park in the Flea Market or at
- the Salem or Dayton Mall. Campers and trailers may park at Tall Timbers KOA
- or at the Miami Valley Technology Center (formerly Montgomery County Joint
- Vocational School-JVS), after 3:30 P.M. on Friday and all day Saturday and
- Sunday.
-
- Free Bus Service...
- There will be Free Bus Service provided between Hamvention and our satellite
- parking areas which include Salem Mall, Forest Park Plaza, Mendelsons, Meijer
- (Route 48 and I-70), Air Force Museum, Dayton Mall, KOA campground and the
- Miami Valley Technology Center (formerly Montgomery County Joint Vocational
- School-JVS). In addition, some motels may offer transportation to
- Hamvention.
-
- I'm not affiliated with DARA or the Hamvention in any way... I'm just
- passing on the information I recieved in the mail today. All flames will
- be directed to /dev/null.

-
- Keep in mind the second harmonic falls into a fairly sensitive
- piece of spectrum, the military aviation band. Anyway, the spec
- for amateur transmitters operating between 30-225Mhz is -60dBc,
- no greater than 25uW in any case. I'm not sure where you got the
- -48dB and -50dB numbers from. -48dB versus -60dB is 12dB over
- the limit, which is 5dB more than the absolute maximum permitted
- level for a 5W transmitter. We've never been told how far off spec
- the FX-146 was; Ramsey claims 2dB, but Bloom stated it was considerably more.
-
- Anyway, comparing 1kW on 11m to the amateur rules is pointless.
- Amateurs have historically been very proud of a strict compliance
- to the rules, and frequently ridicule 11m folks for not complying
- with the appropriate rules. I should hope you aren't condoning the
- operation of radios with illegal harmonic outputs on sensitive aero bands.
- If we can ignore the rules if we don't break them much, then why not look
- the other way when General class operators get 1 or 2 kHz into the Advanced
- band segments?

- It's not the surplus equipment that's important, but the availability of
- inexpensive CODEC chips that do the entire encoding/decoding job. Many

- from 64K down to 16K; these would be worth a look as well.
