This page presents the Arduino radio receiver project created by EasyEDA in 2024. It includes design drawings, BOM, and project details. The content is aimed at hams interested in building their own radio receiver using Arduino technology. The project is shared under a CC BY-ND 4.0 license, allowing others to replicate and modify it. The page also includes comments from project members, making it a useful resource for hams looking to explore radio receiver construction.

The LKJ Wednesday Night Special Antenna, designed by John Whiteman K5LKJ, is a compact 50-foot coil-loaded dipole for 80-meter operation, ideal for space-limited hams in residential areas. Using two 1-inch diameter PVC coils with 87 turns of #16 magnet wire each—placed 10 feet from the center—it tunes to 3.910 MHz for local nets like BVARC Rag Chew. Constructed with #14 wire, ceramic insulators, and Mini-8X feedline, it handles 1000W, performs well at low heights for NVIS, and requires a tuner for bandwidth. Collaborative tuning by club members ensured success.

Tubes are a dying technology. All modern transmitters, even high power ones, do work with transistors and other semiconductors. But many fondly remember their first homebrew transmitter and its hard to forget warm glow of a vacuum tube. The Station QRP website is especially for you to come into touch with tube technology. This site is all about handcrafted QRP AM tube transmitters.

The resource details a novel approach to Morse code (CW) reception for hearing-impaired operators, focusing on a handheld device that translates CW signals into tactile vibrations. It explains how this device allows users to perceive the patterns of dots and dashes through physical feedback from a shaker, addressing the challenges of auditory discrimination for those with hearing loss. The content highlights the potential for this tactile method to aid in CW learning and interpretation, even suggesting benefits for operators with normal hearing by providing an alternative sensory input. The article also mentions the device's _patent-pending_ status and its availability to members of the _Long Island CW Club_ and the general public. It provides contact information for further inquiries about this innovative tool.

This project describes a high-performance EME antenna array consisting of two home-designed 9-element Yagis, each about 2.5 wavelengths long, combined into a 25-ohm system and matched to 100 ohms using 9/4λ sections of 50-ohm coax. The array supports rotatable polarity from 0° to 180°, allowing both horizontal and vertical polarization to optimize moonbounce performance under varying conditions. Despite operating for years without a balun—something another designer called “disastrous”—the system has delivered strong results, including copying very weak DX such as VK3KH at about -25 dB with only 120 W (around 2 kW ERP). The builder continues to refine the mechanics, having installed new gear motors and an upgraded follow-up control system in 2011.

Meshtastic utilizes _LoRa_ radio protocol for long-range, off-grid communication, functioning as a decentralized mesh network. The system allows users to send and receive text messages without reliance on existing infrastructure or a phone for mesh communication, leveraging inexpensive LoRa radios. Key features include encrypted communication, excellent battery life, and optional GPS-based location services, with radios designed to rebroadcast messages to ensure all group members receive them. The project has achieved a record range of **331km** and is 100% community-driven and open source, with its codebase available on GitHub. Unlike traditional ham radio, Meshtastic operates on LoRa, which is generally accessible without additional licenses. Each Meshtastic radio can be paired with one phone at a time for message exchange, and support is entirely volunteer-based.
