I make it a point to go back to Wes W7ZOI’s web site every once in a while. That is always a good idea. This time I found myself looking at the page that described Farhan’s 2017 visit. Wow, just look at the guys at that table. <\/b><\/div>\n

<\/b><\/div>\n
— Wes W7ZOI. The man who launched the solid state direct-conversion receiver revolution. Author of SSDRA and EMRFD. And so much more. <\/b><\/div>\n

<\/b><\/div>\n
— Roger KA7EXM. Son of Wes. The guy who developed the receiver for the Ugly Weekender transmitter. <\/b><\/div>\n

<\/b><\/div>\n
— Rick KK7B. The guru of phasing type direct-conversion single signal receivers. <\/b><\/div>\n

<\/b><\/div>\n
— Roy W7EL. Father of EZNEC antenna modeling software. And the optimized QRP transceiver, with the diplexer that we are using (perhaps improperly) in our high school direct conversion receiver project. <\/b><\/div>\n

<\/b><\/div>\n
— Jeff WA7MLH. Builder of so many of the great projects in SSDRA. Made me feel good about gear that looked a bit rough. <\/b><\/div>\n

<\/b><\/div>\n
— Farhan VU2ESE. Creator of the BITX20, the BITX 40 Module, the uBITX, the sBITX and so much more. <\/b><\/div>\n

<\/b><\/div>\n
Just scroll through the site. You will see Rick there with his Classic 40 phasing receiver. Roy with his Optimized transceiver. Roger with the Ugly Weekender transceiver. <\/b><\/div>\n

<\/b><\/div>\n
Finally, the morse key that Farhan gave to each of the participants. Farhan gave me one of these too. I will try to use it from the Dominican Republic on Straight Key Night. <\/b><\/div>\n

<\/b><\/div>\n
Check out the site: <\/b><\/div>\n<\/p>\n
