QRP me's Station Accessories Build-A-Thon

This is a beginner's Build-a-thon based on some very simple station accessories. We will build a straight key with microprocessor based electronic keyer with side-tone oscillator. Use this with a pair of headphones to practice sending Morse Code. We will also build a simple wire antenna which will be an end fed Zepp antenna with associated tuner. Added to the Sunday Intermediate Buildathon featuring an elementary transceiver you will then have a complete QRP station. Just add some headphones and a battery and you can be on the air!


This kit is $40.00 from QRPme, and is available at this link:

Build-A-Thon: Let's build a simple Transceiver

PDT: Sunday, September 18, 2022, 10:00 am UTC: September 18, 2022, 5:00 pm

Level: Beginner

QRPme HF Transceiver based on the Pixie

In this Buildathon, we will be building a fairly simple but fully functional HF transceiver for the 40m band. It is based on the classic 'Pixie' design and has been built by beginner hams for decades. While we have added a few changes to make it perform better than the earlier versions of the Pixie, it is still fairly simple and straightforward to build by beginners. Used in conjunction with the station accessories Buildathon on Saturday, all you have to add is a battery and a pair of headphones to have a complete working station!
