At the risk of thoroughly boring you all, I'll summarize the position to
date. I have a good workshop with power tools and I like metal bashing and
am quite happy with PCBs. I even have an electronic calliper so can
measure thickness accurately. However, my eyes will not allow very fine
work like SMD. I am looking to build an SWR meter using two 1 mA meters,
one for forward and one for reverse. I am looking for a practical
(non-theoretical) article on how to build one. I am wondering if there is
one the ARRL handboook before I go to the exp-ense of buying one here in
Australia. Most of the beautifully argued theory on here is way way beyond
me. Any pointers to a suitable article?
And further to that, I am hoping to shortly get a Bird Termaline 50W dummy
load, so I'll have something to work with!
