Miscellaneous Stuff
Here are some miscellaneous projects and information.
The "Everything Box". The box that does just about everything (except transmit or recieve RF).
Some Thoughts on Heat Sinks. A no-nonsense guide to heat sinks for home brew projects.
Solar Power. My implementation of a small, off-grid solar "backup power" system.
Ham Shack DC Solar Power. In addition to my QTH solar power system, I put up a small solar panel for a DC-only solar power system for my ham shack.
RF Choke
Color Code Chart. I could not find a comprehensive choke color
code chart so I made my own. This is a printable version for
reference or to tape on your junk box.
Toroid
Charts. These charts are based on an article written by WA8MCQ
and are a great aid for designing toroidal inductors. I
expanded his original charts to cover a few more sizes and number of
turns. They are in Excel format. If you need a .pdf, click here . Also for a great on-line toroid
tool, see the KitsandParts.com (W8DIZ) Toroid Specifications. And for a
great little muti-purpose program from DL5SWB, click here
.
Cheap Keyers. Options for inexpensive keyers and home brew paddles.
CW Bible
Verses. A combination of Bible Study and CW practice.
