NS 40

I built a 4SQRP NS-40 transmitter. It is an easy build and takes no time. I have not labeled it yet but I housed the transmitter in a tin found at Big Lots. The tin used to have NASCAR scenes on it but some sandpaper, primer and a couple coat of pretty blue paint took care of that. The little tin fit perfectly. I hope to use the little transmitter with either of my Ten Tec receivers that I built, or I could cheat and use the PFR or ATS receiver with the 4SQRP Magic box that was introduced at Ozarkcon. I am excited to get the magic box kit. I think it will be cool to play with. For a ham like me that has never used seperates the magic box should make things easy. de Paul N0NBD

Ten Tec 1054 Regen is complete

Now to order the pretty oak cabinet for the radio. I did not order with the kit thinking if I don't really like this rx I would save 40 bucks. I LIKE THE RX and it deserves to live in a nice oak cabinet. I still need to tweek around some but I hear lots of SW stations and found WWV on 10 MHz. Man this is great I have a RX to go with my NS 40 now. All I need is the 4SQRP magic box and it will be cool de Paul N0NBD

Ten Tec 1054 RX kit started

Here is a start on my regen kit. I an excited to use a regen and the 4SQRP Magic box with a NS 40. I think that will be a blast. I am hoping 4QRP develops a NS 30. 30 meters is my favorite band and the 1054 is supposed to receive there as well. de Paul N0NBD

A RX is complete

A short while back I finished my Ten Tec 1056 DC Rx kit. My labeling is crappy but it works and I have been listening to 40 meter CW trying to log where some frequencies are so I can make dials. I hear LOTS af stations but it is fun to tune around and listen. I need to put a ground lug and wire on it to help get rid of some hum but my clip lead is working for now. I have started another Ten Tec 1054 kit , the regen model. I am excited to hear a regen work. I will post when it is complete.
