Hello to all Homebrewers!

After reading this post I realized that I in fact had a busy homebrewing 
winter.

I built a number of good projects found on the Ham radio internet sites, and 
although not
designed by me, they are 100% built by me . They still taught me a lot and 
kept the solder flowing.
Here are some of the projects that I completed over the winter:

1) A  very nice PIC controlled LCD display  L / C meter:

2) An Excellent AD995X DDS VFO controlled by serial port software:

3) A quick and dirty PIC programmer,

4) A nice QRP digital Wattmeter

I modified the input resistors to be 50 ohm impedance,  the original design 
is closer to 66 ohms.


All projects were laid out using EAGLE cad software, free version, 
laserprinted on acetate and
ironed onto copper board. Then etched, drilled and populated mostly from my 
junk box.

The DDS circuit  already had artwork laid out using TARGET 3001 free 
software.

I have not added these projects to my website yet, so follow the above 
links to have a look.

I have always found the people on this list most helpful whenever I have 
asked about things like
winding toroids, overtone crystals, grounding or whatever.

Many thanks
