Reversible 40 Meter Moxon ^updated - The author wants a compact, switchable antenna for 40-meter ham radio. They compare 3 designs: rectangle, short-tipped W6NL, and T-hat. All work well electrically, but mechanics matter for a large antenna. The rectangle needs strong support, while the T-hat is sturdier with slightly longer elements. The T-hat design wins for now, but the author will focus on its mechanical details next.

Arduino QRP Transceiver: DIY Success on HF Bands - This article introduces an Arduino-based QRP CW Transceiver designed for lower HF bands. The journey begins with the Wotduino, evolving from a keyer to a multi-mode beacon. The development includes a QRP transmitter and culminates in a receiver inspired by Roy Lewallen design. The transceiver, controlled through a control bus features a signal path, modulation, filtering, and adjustable frequency settings. Despite initial testing intentions, successful QSOs on 80 and 40 meters showcase its functional capabilities.
