Personal Builds
The creativity of our members has provided a wealth of information and equipment to expand the efficacy of radio systems and communication in the region. We share their build descriptions below to enlighten and inspire further development.
Hopefully this provides an opportunity to get ideas, identify sources and learn from those who have done the work previously. In addition you are encouraged to see the construction details of our deployable Portable Kits.
If you have a system with interesting features and would like it featured here, contact Wayne via email at K7QHQ at arrl.net.
