KC1FSZ’s Above Board, Al Fresco, Free Range, QRO, 4-Foot-Long, Wood-Based BITX

DON’T BOX IT UP BRUCE! LET THAT RIG LIVE FREE AND BREATHE!

COULD THIS BE THE WORLD’S BIGGEST BITX?
Hi Guys:

First off, congrats on back-to-back SPRAT covers.

I’ve succeeded in my QRO quest. Now I’m running the finals from 28V using a home-brew linear power supply and getting about 20W out. LM723 + 2N3055’s. I’m making a lot more contacts too. The only problem is that the “Peppermint Line” is close to 4 feet long now! (Photo below). I don’t know how N6QW gets his rigs packed into such small cases. Putting the various boards in edge-wise will probably help a lot, so that’s going to be my approach to the final packaging job.

73s,

Bruce KC1FSZ
