When it does, it’s wonderful to have a small stash of parts on hand, so I can pull the soldering iron out and start building before the desire dissipates. I’ve been interested in beacons for a while, […]

The little box that contains the DBM, diplexer, and AF amplifier that make up the mainframe will most likely stay largely the […]
