QRSS beacon, ala Hans Summers, G0UPL
My regenerative receiver was annoying me, and I wanted to do some soldering tonight anyway, so I thought I’d tack together a really simple transmitter project. I wound a coil, and spent about 45 minutes tacking a simple QRSS transmitter (really just a Colpitts oscillator) which should dump about 14mw of power into a 50 ohm load. I also created an LTSpice model for it, which I should put up in the next few days.

Addendum: Before crashing last night, I moved it out to my dining room table where my FT-817 was sitting, and verified that it does indeed seem to emit radio waves.

Apparently 15% of all web traffic is cat related. There's no reason for Brainwagon be any different.
Thanks Mal! I'm trying to reclaim the time that I was using doom scrolling and writing pointless political diatribes on…
Brainwagons back! I can't help you with a job, not least because I'm on the other side of our little…
Congrats, glad to hear all is well.
