This guide provides step-by-step instructions for constructing a tin can waveguide antenna, commonly known as a cantenna, for enhancing WiFi signal range. The project is budget-friendly, costing under $5, and utilizes easily accessible materials like a food can and basic electronic components. The design is suitable for 802.11b and 802.11g wireless networks, operating within the 2.4 GHz frequency range. To start, gather the necessary parts including an N-Female chassis mount connector, nuts, bolts, and a suitable can. The assembly process involves drilling holes in the can for the connector and mounting the probe. The guide emphasizes the importance of can dimensions and placement for optimal performance, encouraging experimentation for best results. This project is ideal for amateur radio operators and DIY enthusiasts looking to improve their wireless connectivity without significant investment. Safety precautions are advised, as the author does not hold electrical engineering credentials. Users are encouraged to take responsibility for their equipment and ensure proper assembly. With this simple yet effective antenna, users can extend their WiFi coverage and enjoy enhanced connectivity.

This project shows how to build a 50-ohm dummy load using non-inductive resistors, oil for heat dissipation, and a simple assembly process. It enables accurate transmitter tuning, testing, and power measurement across LF to UHF bands. The setup allows meter calibration by measuring peak voltage, applying diode drop correction, and calculating RMS voltage and power precisely. Parts are inexpensive and widely available. With proper assembly, this dummy load offers extended service life, accurate readings within 2%, and a reliable alternative to costly commercial wattmeters for amateur radio applications.

This simple 30m QRSS beacon is built entirely out of junkbox parts, the only component purchased specifically for this project was the 10,140kHz crystal. Hans Summers' 30m QRSS beacon project emphasizes simplicity and low cost, built almost entirely from reused parts. Key components include a 10,140kHz crystal, a 2N3904 transistor from a broken DVD player, and an ordinary LED used for frequency shift. The oscillator is stabilized in a polystyrene box, with power amplification driven by recycled copper PCB. Output power peaks at 360mW, and a custom 50-ohm dummy load manages heat. Though aesthetically unconventional, the beacon works effectively, fulfilling the project's low cost aim.

This project was published in the April 2004 issue of the Australian magazine Amateur Radio, and has been designed using parts which are very readily available.

It is a application which can be used for troubleshooting CB radio faults, by giving a graphical display of the normal operating frequencies generated by various parts of the CB radios circuits, it can help you identify if a frequency is incorrect or even missing. Another good use for this software is simulating possible frequency expansions, as it allows you to choose any frequency that the PLL is capable of generating, so you can see what the radio will allow you to get !
