[HBR] Projects

[William Hopkins]

I build the one tube keyer about 8 years ago. Was fun. Used a mercury switch. I don't get enough leeway on the adjustment of the dots or dashes. I forget which. Anyway, I will have to put in more resistance into the line/s, I think, to give me more control over the weight, etc. 

I too have been rumbling around in the basement, trying to get the courage to build the HBR. My job is still tying me down, though. Wanted to build the 16, but have been advised the 13 is better. I believe I have purchased parts for the 16. Anyway, I will have to bone up on things once again to find out what I can do. 

I think I will need to get a first class chassis built locally and have all the holes cut. I want to make it look first class, if I am going to put all that energy into it.

Hi Darrell, 

Funny you should ask...! 

I'm presently engaged in the construction of a single-tube electronic keyer 
here, to accompany my Drake Twins this summer. 

Details as its design, origins, etc. may be seen by clicking onto:
