It is not everyday that you get on 40 meters and run into a guy who has actually built a single sideband transceiver. But that is what happened to me today. I spoke to Dennis, K0EOO. He showed an unusual interest in my BITX DIGI-TIA. He went on to explain that he had done some homebewing himself. In the picture (from 1974), right next to his Vibroplex bug we see his homebrew, 80-10 meter, dual conversion, solid state (except for the 6146 final) SSB transceiver with digital readout. Wow. That’s a beautiful rig. <\/b>
<\/b>
Off his right shoulder is a homebrew 700 watt amplifier using dual 4CX250s. And behind his left shoulder we see a homebrew tube-type receiver. <\/b>
<\/b>
Note the look of pride and determination in OM’s eyes. You can just hear him saying it: “Rig here is homebrew.”<\/b><\/p>\n
