Onto Jupiter

Hello!

I spent some grand time on the bench this Fall and Winter. On May 3,  I'll cease bench experiments + blog posting and go outside in our garden. To keep in touch with other radio and QRP work bench enthusiasts over the spring + summer, I'll employ Twitter.

Although, its not looking good time-wise, I hope to finish my Jupiter receiver and post a few of the 'unique circuits'. Reaching for something fresh, I'm avoiding cliche circuitry to learn and enjoy more.

Here's a quick glimpse at the front end filter — amplifier in test mode. I swept for S21 and performed DC measures last weekend.

I invite you to please join us at the Google Plus Solid State Regenerative Receiver Community.


To do my part —  I hope to post a few more of my regen ideas/experiments over the Spring and Summer. However, please post your experiments and enjoyment of those simple to moderately complex regen radio sets that hold us in thrall.

I'll end with some random photos. Thanks for reading. 73!

 

Above — I also design and make solid state guitar amplifiers --- although, I've never posted any. 1 day perhaps?

Above — Egad — I still have some tube stuff hanging around but may purge it out.

Above —1 of my first regens.  Ugly construction, of course. Всё как есть.
