Homebrew Equipment
40m is
an
ideal band for homebrewed equipment and antennas. A simple VXO
controlled 1W QRP transmitter with just a handful of parts can be built
"ugly" style on a piece of copper laminate in just 30 minutes. Such
rigs are capable of working thousands of miles and are enormously
satisfying to use. Similarly, a small direct conversion transceiver is
not much more difficult.
Simple verticals and wire antennas are easy enough to fabricate using
readily available supports from the local DIY shop and can be erected
without help, if care is taken.
