Bernie Nazari K6NAZ has been a ham for just under two years, but has already been bitten by the building bug.  Recently he’s shared two projects in our Facebook group that combine Arduino compatible Adafruit Feather boards and 3D Printing to add to his ham radio fun.  Bernie joins us today to talk about his remote Pi-Star hot spot display and controller as well has his approach for building a remotely controlled linked dipole an>ntenna.

One final piece of content from the 2018 Hamvention.  Every year, the QRP Amateur Radio Club International hosts a QRP conference called Four Days in May that proceeds Hamvention.  The event is home to a large collection of amateurs passionate about low power operation and building their own radios. George attended the event on Thursday and was able to capture talks by Hans Summers G0UPL of QRP-Labs fame and Dr. Jack Purdum W8TEE, famous in the BITX40 community.  Hans talks about the development of his smash hit new transceiver kit, the QCX and Jack talks to us about homebrewing. Special thanks to QRP ARCI President Preston Douglas WJ2V for allowing us to record these great talks. If you would like more information about QRP ARCI or are interested in joining, please visit http://www.qrparci.org/ We have launched the all new http://www.HamRadioWorkbench.com/ !  This includes our new Online Store where you can order Ham Radio Workbench projects that are currently in production.  You can also find documentation for previous projects, an archive of our podcast episodes, and a new Blog where George and Jeremy will post articles.

The BITX40 is a $60 Arduino controlled 7 watt QRP SSB 40 meter transceiver designed and built by Ashar Farhan VU2ESE.  They are available as a “kit” from http://www.hfsigs.com/ .  The assembly only involves soldering wires for things like speakers, power, and microphones and also finding a suitable case.  We originally spoke about the BITX40 back in Episode 26 (http://hamradio360.com/index.php/2017/06/20/ham-radio-360-workbench-26-the-bitx40-transceiver-an-introduction/) Mark “Smitty” Smith KR6ZY is back with us again to share with us the modifications and upgrades he’s made to the original BITX40 over the summer.  In this episode, we discuss adding upper sideband capabilities, adding an IF shift, and even multibanding the radio!  Smitty shares lots of great resources and ideas in this episode of the Workbench. Smitty KR6ZY can be found online on twitter @smittyhalibut (https://twitter.com/smittyhalibut) and on YouTube at https://www.youtube.com/user/SmittyHalibut Cale K4CDN is taking a much deserved break for the rest of the year!  - http://hamradio360.com/index.php/2017/09/19/ham-radio-360-lessons-from-irma-and-my-vacation/ Workbench Autodesk Eagle board layout tutorial with KF7IJZ, KJ6VU, W6KWF, and KR6ZY - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IYoorqf2llE OSHPark Board Manufacturer - https://oshpark.com/ ESP01 / ESP8266 http://www.instructables.com/id/Getting-Started-With-the-ESP8266-ESP-01/ https://www.sparkfun.com/products/13678 ESP Libraries Source https://github.com/esp8266/Arduino Arduino IDE - https://www.arduino.cc/en/Main/Software ESP8266 in Arduino - https://learn.sparkfun.com/tutorials/esp8266-thing-hookup-guide/installing-the-esp8266-arduino-addon Teensy - https://www.pjrc.com/teensy/ ARRL HF Data Rates - http://www.arrl.org/news/arrl-files-symbol-rate-petition-with-fcc Hardware random number generator - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hardware_random_number_generator RTL-SDR v3 with Direct Sampling - https://www.rtl-sdr.com/rtl-sdr-blog-v-3-dongles-user-guide/ QRP Labs Filter Kits https://www.qrp-labs.com LPFs: https://www.qrp-labs.com/lpfkit.html BPFs: https://www.qrp-labs.com/bpfkit.html HF BPF 10-band Set - http://shop.qrp-labs.com/BPFSET D-STAR QSO Party - https://www.icom.co.jp/world/dqp/ Silicon Dust HDHomeRun OTA TV to IP Box - https://www.silicondust.com/ Smitty’s BITX40 Intro Video - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3ESph5JCOpw BITX40 Mods Groups.io - https://groups.io/g/BITX20 BitX Hacks - http://bitxhacks.blogspot.com/ Raduino Software - https://groups.io/g/BITX20/wiki/Raduino-Topics Allard’s Software - https://groups.io/g/BITX20/wiki/Allard%27s-Raduino-Code Software upgrades https://github.com/amunters/bitx40/ Make it do CW http://bitxhacks.blogspot.com/2017/03/nd6t-bitx-cw-update.html http://bitxhacks.blogspot.com/2017/02/putting-bitx-raduino-on-cw.html USB and LSB (for digital) - https://groups.io/g/BITX20/wiki/USB-LSB-operation Front panel and case - https://www.banggood.com/Electronic-Plastic-Shell-Cartridge-Handle-Project-Case-Desk-Instrument-200x175x70mm-p-1035473.html?rmmds=myorder Optical/Rotary Encoder Tuning - https://groups.io/g/BITX20/topic/mouse_encoder/5553536?p=,,,20,0,0,0::Relevance,,mouse,20,2,0,5553536 Dr. Jack Purdum W8TEE VFO TFT - https://groups.io/g/BITX20/topic/5116056 AGC Board - http://kv4qb.blogspot.com/2016/11/bitx-40p-building-part-1.html   SteppIR Urban Beam - http://www.steppir.com/UrbanBeam

Title: Episode 43 is tremendous! Reviewer name: cb_abq Country: USA Date: January 13, 2016 Rating: Comment: Well done gentlemen! That is the most information delivered about microcontroller and embedded Linux systems related to ham radio, and other applications, that I have heard in any podcast, ever. This is great information to enable anyone, whether an EE, or just an interested consumer to build a project based on either of these closely related technologies. KJ6VU and KF7IJZ are really well informed and articulate on all things ham. Fantastic!
