For months with 5 Wednesdays we often initiate a challenge of some sort. This month we put forward that club members bring up a project they have built out of repurposed electronics (ie, e-waste).
Winner was Bob VK2RL with his direct conversion 40m receiver and power supply
Runner up was Phil VK2BDF with a traffic light vehicle loop simulator
Other projects included a CD-tuned crystal radio, a QRP morse transceiver duo, a Philips FM321 with homemade CTCSS injector, a CW oscillator, and a pair of HT220 walkie talkies.
We also had a few nice old radios on display!
See the below album for the projects:
Can’t believe the pristine 50 year old Motorola HT220 didn’t hey a single vote!
