Doesn't anyone build ANYTHING for themselves anymore?

An honest question. I was parsing through some of the Amateur Radio posts
on Facebook and there were several posts for 9:1 UNUNs available through
eBay.

Now, I'll the first to profess that I'm no EE. And most of my home brew
projects come out looking like those baking failures you find on Instagram.
And I'm certainly not on par with the home brewing skills of my good friend
W3BBO who builds transmitters and receivers that are so good looking, that
you'd WANT one in your shack. Nothing "ugly" about his construction
techniques.

But a 9:1 UNUN? Really?

Even "Mr. Two Thumbs" W2LJ can handle one of those!




And I have! And, gosh darn, it actually even works!

So if I can do it, you can do it, too. The parts are easy to find and the
step by step instructions are easily found on the Web. Just search
for "EARCHI". You can "roll your own" for half the price you'd pay on the
online auction site. And maybe, just maybe, you can buy parts in bulk and
have yourself a club project. Now THAT'S an idea!
