[COham] BC-221 on 7030 kHz , 0230z, 15 Sept. 2018.

[Paul Signorelli]

I will have my BC-221 Frequency Meter on 7030 kHz +/- 2 at 0230z,  15 Sept. 2018, Zulu Day.

(That is 2130 EST, 14 Sept. CONUS Day).

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 new 26650 LiIon Cells (3S2P).

I didn't add a digital frequency readout on this rig so i have to use the 'Calibration Chart'

to set my frequency (appropriate). It will be on a full size vertical.

The construction  details are in CQ Magazine, Feb. and March 2018.


The Special QSL for the day will be the astrophotograph of NGC7000, The North American Nebula.
