I built a NorCal40A QRP radio and used it on camping trips for a number
of years. My QRP K2 and KX1 have totally replaced it, and I'd like to
free up some storage space for other "treasures."
If you'd like it, possibly to introduce a kid or two (Scouts?) into the
joys of CW, QRP, and field radio operating, or some sort of school
demonstration or whatever, make me an offer ... let me know what you
plan on doing with it -- good causes that could help ham radio get a
discount! It includes a little MJF-407(?) keyer which can be powered
from a 9V battery. It's easily mailable
For those who don't know -- it's a design of Wayne Burdick, N6KR, of
Elecraft fame. It runs around 3-5 watts depending on power (~12V, and
the 11.7V Li-poly batteries work great with it), and covers your choice
of approximately 35 KHz of the 40m CW band (I've currently got it set to
about 7020 - 7055). It measures 5"W x 4.5"D x 2.5"H and weighs a little
less than 1 lb. I'm sure I can find the manual (he says with no idea
whatsoever where it actually might be). The Rx is quite amazing.
Let's reply off the reflectors.
