I will have my BC-221 Frequency Meter on 7030 kHz +/- 1 at 2350z, 8 May 2018.
This is not a converted BC-221, it is a repurposed BC-221.
That means it has been gutted and I am using the case for a new QRP rig.
It is a "1 Watter" in disguise ($49): <http://www.kitsandparts.com/1watter-V3.php>
driving a Pacific Antenna 10W amplifier ($55): <http://www.qrpkits.com/10wamp.html>.
It is running on 6 - 26650 LiIon Cells.
I didn't add a digital frequency readout on this rig so i have to use the 'Calibration Chart'
to set my frequency (appropriate).
The construction details are in CQ Magazine Feb. 2018 and March 2018.
If you can't hear me you might see me on the Cluster Map at <https://dxcluster.ha8tks.hu/rbn_ct1boh/>.
The Special QSL for the day (night) will be the astrophotograph of NGC7000, The North American Nebula.
