Greetings everyone!

I have been living in UK the last 8 years, since having to leave my home
country Zimbabwe (the Z21GQ c/s). My primary job most of my life was the
design and construction of power electronics - things like 25kA
rectifiers and railway traction systems, though I started out as an RF
engineer with the Rhodesian PTC in 1963 and served in the Signals
Workshop during the Rhodesian war (part-time). Now I teach people all
over thr world how to maintain and repair linear accelerators from 2 to
15MeV.

I am very interested in homebrew (back home I had a factory making DIY
solar lighting kits and getting pcb's done was no problem) but here in
the UK I am lost for RF components, pcb makers and so on.

What I am particulary interested right now is whether anyone has a good
circuit for an AD9910 DDS that I can control from my laptop? Of course,
where to get a pcb would be a wonderful advantage. I've designed
hundreds of boards in the past, but not since comning to the UK.
Initially I want to use the DDS to check out HF front end filer
characteristics for 14, 18, 10MHz

I have 2 Telefunkeb E1500 RX's as well as an ICOM IC-745. Longer term I
would like to install H-Mode mixers in both, and narrow band filters in
the E1500 (ham bands)

Any emails and ideas would be greatly appreciated
