For amateur radio operators engaged in **radio direction finding** (RDF) and **transmitter hunting** (T-hunting) activities, this resource provides a catalog of printed circuit boards (PCBs) for constructing various DF and foxhunt-related projects. The offerings include PCBs for 80-meter fox transmitters and receivers, UHF fox transmitters with audio recording capabilities, and several designs for general-purpose radio direction finders. Specific projects like the "Simple 80M ATX-80 Transmitter" and the "N0GSG DSP Radio Direction Finder" are listed, along with attenuator boxes and specialized components for Doppler DF systems. The catalog details PCBs for projects published in prominent amateur radio magazines such as *73's*, *CQ*, *QST*, and *PE*, indicating their origin and design pedigree. For instance, the "Montreal Fox Controller" is sourced from the *Homing-In* column by Joe Moell, K0OV. The resource also lists components for advanced Doppler DF systems, including main boards, LED display boards, and antenna switch boards, with options for programmed PIC microcontrollers. Pricing for each PCB is provided, allowing hams to acquire the necessary components for their DIY RDF endeavors.

This thoughtful review details ajourney from the stock Elecraft KXPD2 paddle to an innovative pressure-sensor alternative. The author candidly describes issues with their original paddle—intermittent operation and loosening screws—before discovering VK3IL's pressure-sensitive design through QST magazine. The construction process, using a PCB and components generously shared by the designer, proved straightforward despite challenging SMD soldering. What stands out is the clever DIY housing solution: a "sandwich" of closed-cell foam encased in heat-shrink tubing that fits comfortably in hand. The ergonomic design allows effective single-handed operation for portable SOTA activations. The successful implementation has rendered the original paddle obsolete, leaving only the task of covering the radio's paddle port.
