The Michigan Mighty Mite – oscillating, not liberated.
I have been in the throes of some serious building recently. The DFR (see previous post), a nearly completed WBR regen receiver, and now, suddenly, without warning, in two evenings, a Michigan Mighty Mite QRP transmitter. Soldersmoke is one of … Continue reading

The DFR – just briefly.
Update: a feature article on the DFR was published in the November 2015 QST – check it out! It’s been a while since I have made a blog post, but I have been busy with a number of building projects. … Continue reading
