Real Hams will never be able to build a rig that even comes close to what's available off the shelf these days. What? I've never heard that. Folks should know how their radios work, that's why the FCC exam includes "theory". There's never been a requirement to bring in a Home Brew transceiver as part of the exam. .....and a true example of home-built radio was heard on 80m CW a week or so ago - a Russian with homemade equipment that rasped CW more than broke the carrier and was a wide signal. Sort of knocks the 'build your own' case for Gareth into a cocked hat - not easy to work or even work out who or where he was. Leigh..... I've been licensed for 35 years and I've only met one person who built an SSB transceiver from scratch. I know lots of folk who have the expertise to repair them and many have built kits. de ah6gi/4 -- |
