Title: N9NEOphyte A PW solution Post by: N9NEO on April 07, 2005, 07:25:19 PM I have built a piss weak rig using silicon. Worked Dirk at 300mi on 4watt carrier.
Thanks to Art, Frank & Tomm. http://classe.monkeypuppet.com/viewtopic.php?p=1855#1855 Title: Sorry, was not clear. Post by: N9NEO on April 08, 2005, 06:24:42 PM Sorry I didn't make it clear that the link is a picture of it. Somebody emailed me off board and ask for picture.
Take a look at it any you will see that not many parts required to get on the air. The microphone plugs directly into the board and there is no modulator. Four mosfets under the pc board, and a series resonant tank circuit. BELOW IS LINK TO PICTURE OF RIG! 73 NEO http://classe.monkeypuppet.com/viewtopic.php?p=1855#1855 Title: N9NEOphyte A PW solution Post by: KE1GF on April 08, 2005, 08:29:36 PM Bob, where's the OSC?
Title: OSC is HP Post by: N9NEO on April 08, 2005, 11:59:45 PM OSC I used is HP function generator. I have a very nice Oscillator that JN helped me put together with parts he scrounged. I am looking for Boatanchor Motif box to put all together.
If I connect my VFO and you and I do split freq 160m/75m do I qualify for OPWO status? 73 Bob Title: Re: OSC is HP Post by: KE1GF on April 09, 2005, 01:17:07 PM Quote from: N9NEO OSC I used is HP function generator.

Maybe some of the elmer PWO's will read and give a difinitive answer. Last night on Tom Vu and I had made plans to fire up our PW's on 75 around 3:30. Maybe Tom has the 160M reception equipment to hear you. I have extremely bad line leakage interference with my dipole on 160M RX. Hopefully this summer I'll be able to get CATV hardline and put up a 160 ANT way out in the woods away from the noise. And be prepared for operation next year. -Bill Title: OK FB Post by: N9NEO on April 09, 2005, 03:11:36 PM Ok, I'm hookin up the JN matster oscillator for 160m. I will try and xmit on 160m and recv on 75m. Maybe JJ will be there to Knight me.
NEO-later Bob Title: ttyl Post by: N9NEO on April 09, 2005, 03:48:08 PM Ok, maybe some other time. Pile of crap spread out over bench not co-operating, and I have 4 daughters together at same time and we are getting ready to go out to dinner. #3 turned 19yo today, so special occasion. Rather spend time with family for now. We can make history later.
