It’s only been 2-1/2 years since I last posted on my own web page. Who knows where the time goes (answer is Sandy Denny)? BTW, I’ve since added one of these to the test equipment stable. See you in another year or two.
Update
Time keeps marching, I keep working. If I’m going to continue to have a page, I need to update it more frequently. Anyway, as promised nearly 6 months ago, here’s the picture of what Santa brought last Christmas. It’s a Rigol DSA-815 spectrum analyzer with tracking generator. I’m very fortunate. It also makes the W7ZOI…
Looks like progress was stopped…

Moving Right Along…
I keep making progress toward The Goal (see previous posts). Here’s the fully populated Hycas IF board. Sharp eyes will note I left out the input impedance matching network (L1 and C1), as I haven’t decided yet on an IF frequency. Current thoughts are running toward 4.9152 MHz. Why? Well… mostly because I have about 100…
Progress Cannot Be Stopped
Well, for the time being, I’ve run out of parts to stuff into the W7ZOI Spectrum Analyzer project. Soooo, since progress cannot be stopped – next up is another Wes Hayward design, the “Hycas” IF module kit (Hycas stands for Hybrid Cascode). Discerning eyes will note I’ve yet to pop in the active devices as…
Let The Building Begin!
I’ve been a big fan and not-as-active-as-I’d-like practitioner of homebrewed electronics, building homemade electronic equipment, especially for my amateur radio hobby. I even wrote a fairly detailed page on this website relating my homebrewing experiences. One of the things I’ve ALWAYS wanted to do was build and operate a completely homebrewed amateur radio station. Hereinafter,…
