I have never even considered TXing in the 22 meter band, but what the hey.. I might just
give it a try.. It doesn't look like I'm going to get a lowFER beacon back on anytime soon.
IF.. I attempt this, I want it down, and dirty, - quick, and cheap.. I was shocked when finally
on the air, at how much money I had spent getting " XR " up and running.. From you guys
who have, and are running; I would like some ideas on a transmitting system.. I'll most likely
use a dipole antenna for simplicity sake.. I can handle simple QRSS for the mode, also to
keep it simple.. Maybe a PIC chip, and eliminate the need for a keyer ?? Definitely want
frequency stability.. as little drifting as possible, because I would like to join the gang at
13,555.55 MHz and not drift on top of someone.. I'll assume that the TX needs to be
mounted in the center of the dipole to get MAX Pwr on the air.. Thanks to anyone who will
take the time to reply with your ideas.. Reply - Off List - if you wish..
thanks, and 73:
