Modifying QRP circuits to operate on another band: Part 5
Our final look at modifying QRP gear to operate on another band. This part discusses superhet receivers, transmitters and transceivers for CW and SSB.

Got 18 metres of wire, a couple of poles and not much space? If so this vertically polarised delta loop might work for you. It operates from 10 to 24 MHz and can give DX contacts. But is it directive? Watch the video and find out.

SINGL
single-letter-morse-code-generator-with
Single letter Morse generator using two common CMOS ICs. Useful for foxhunt beacons etc. Change letter by inserting diodes on different pins of 4017 decade counter. Note the clock capacitor should be 2.2n not 1n as shown in the diagram (the sending with 1n would be fast).

AM activity from Frankston South. It was a hot day and few stations were on. Overall signals are well down from locations on the water such as Seaford and Mordialloc. Unfortunately no stations in Werribee, Geelong or the Peninsula were active, in which case this location would have been more suitable.

MAKIN
making-open-wire-feedline
Open wire feedline is a cheap and low-loss feedline ideal for feeding HF dipoles.
Open wire can tolerate significant impedence mismatches without adding much loss and in conjunction with a balanced antenna coupler allows multiband operation on a single dipole.
Unlike a coax fed antenna the length of the dipole is not critical but for best efficiency aim for a minimum 3/8 wavelength at the lowest operation frequency (ie 30 metres for 3.5 MHz or the 80 metre band).
Open wire should ideally be fed away from the antenna wire at right angles (to maintain balance) and kept away from metal objects such as masts and guttering. If using a mast in the middle of the antenna a timber one such as shown here http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tWq4tgLH-yI is recommended.
A suitable antenna coupler to use is the Z-match by VK5BR: http://users.tpg.com.au/users/ldbutler/SingleCoilZMatch.htm
