I had to build one. I run the BITX40 and uBITX group on Facebook, and I posted to the other hams there: Which DC receiver should I build? Farhan recommended his DC40. Mind you, I&#8217;ve never homebrewed a radio before, so this is all new territory for me. <\/b><\/div>\n<div> <b><br \/><\/b><\/div>\n<div> <b>I did build it, and it does work. It also uses QRP Labs stuff from our friend Hans Summers. This thing has a lot of QRP heritage \ud83d\ude42 I documented it every step of the way including all of my dumb moves and things I got wrong, and my desire is to inspire others to try homebrewing the way Wes, Farhan, Hans, and you YOU GUYS have inspired <i>me<\/i> to try it. I am hooked, of course!
