[Lowfer] Epson Oscillator HiFER beacon page?

[Eric Smith]

Here you go .. from the last time I mirrored his site.   A long time ago.

 http://kd5uwl.freeshell.org/k0lr/

Many articles on that page.  This article below by him is on that oscilkator specifically, but there are other circuits on the page above that use it too.

Speaking of Lyle:  he was my very first HF contact.  To reach him, I built an 80m dipole and a Pixie-2 in requisite Alto-ids tin.  That dipole was so big I had to take it to the local park in Glenpool, Oklahoma where I lived at the time to have room to put it up.  He was in Aitkin, MN.  A long haul for a 9V battery.

It was dark already.  The only key I had was the little plastic thing from my 1975 or so Radio Shack “150-in-1” electronics kit.  It fell apart quickly and I had to key by touching the wires together and separating them.  Seriously.

We made contact!  Lyle actually remarked on my “good fist”, but I think he was being nice.  I was keying “kd5uwl/Ag” that night because I had just passed my Morse code test, but hadn’t received my paper upgrade yet.  I was using the pixie 2 because I didn’t even have an HF radio yet.  Besides that one.

He was actually my Elmer although he may not realize it.
