The _Touch CPO_ circuit offers a unique method for Morse Code practice, eliminating the need for a physical key. It leverages the versatile IC555 timer, configured as an astable multivibrator, to generate an audio tone. Users can adjust the tone's frequency by manipulating a 100 K variable resistor connected between pins 7 and 6 of the IC555, providing flexibility in the practice experience. Volume control is achieved via a 10 K variable resistor, while a 1 K Ohms preset at pin 4 of the IC555 allows for fine-tuning the touch plate's sensitivity. The design connects the touch plate to the base of a BC147B transistor, a configuration noted for its flexibility regarding the length of wire between the transistor and the touch plate. The author's prototype successfully used a 9 cm wire with a 3 x 6 cm aluminum plate. This project also suggests an alternative application as a touch-operated doorbell, demonstrating the circuit's adaptability. The design emphasizes simplicity and ease of construction, making it accessible for hams interested in DIY electronics.

A versatile digital VFO design utilizing the Silicon Labs Si5351a oscillator chip and Nokia 5110/3310 graphics LCD display, operating from 1-160MHz with dual VFO capability. This microcontroller-based system, powered by an ATmega328 processor, features rotary encoder tuning, selectable step sizes, RIT control, and comprehensive band memory functions. Drawing less than 40mA at 3.3V, it significantly improves upon previous DDS designs' power consumption while offering advanced features like S-meter display, VFO lock, and programmable BFO/CIO offsets. The design achieves flexible functionality through simple hardware implementation and efficient software architecture, making it particularly suitable for QRP and portable amateur radio applications.

The W6PQL 23cm Beacon Project describes a **1296 MHz** beacon designed for microwave propagation studies and equipment testing, capable of 30 watts output. It utilizes a PIC 16F628A microcontroller to generate CW and FSK keying for a crystal oscillator, followed by a series of frequency doublers and triplers to reach the target frequency. The final power amplification stage employs a Mitsubishi M57762 module, providing a robust 10-watt RF output. The design emphasizes stability and reliability for continuous operation, with the microcontroller code, written in assembly, provided for customization of the beacon's callsign and message. Originally located in CM97am and aimed at 140 true, the beacon used four 4-foot Yagis stacked vertically for a total ERP of 3kW. The article includes schematics, parts lists, and construction notes to guide builders, along with antenna pattern measurements. Although the beacon itself is no longer in service as of August 2010, the detailed documentation remains a valuable reference for amateur radio operators interested in building similar **microwave** projects or understanding beacon operation.
