 DZKit Is Bringing Back
The Tradition And Fun Of Building
Complex Kits
Over the
years, one by one, all the great
electronic kit manufacturers have
disappeared - Eico, Knight, Dynaco,
Heath. Perhaps the most devastating
for the home electronics enthusiast
was the loss of Heathkit®, a
mainstay from 1947 to the
mid-1980's. Heathkit
advertised "World's finest
electronic equipment in kit form".
....
You can still have fun building an
electronic project, learn how it
works, and have the pride that comes
with knowing you built it yourself.
Brian Wood, W0DZ, a design and
application engineer at HP/Agilent,
wanted to restore the fun of
kitbuilding to a new generation. He
knew that there's a huge pent-up
demand for new, complex,
nice-looking kits that offer value
not available elsewhere. To that
end, he retired early (by choice, a
strange occurrence with all the
layoffs in the industry) and formed
The DZ Co., LLC, dba "DZKit".
Its goal is to allow electronics
enthusiasts and others with a
passion for learning to have a
chance to recapture the fun of doing
it yourself while building products
with unique features.

 OpenRepeater
started back in the beginning of 2014
as the Raspberry Pi Repeater
Controller Project but that quickly
evolved into the Open Repeater
Project. It's the same project but as
some things change like working on
making the project open source,
building a community around the
project, and expanding out to other
embedded Linux boards, a name change
was a no brainier.
About
This project was started as a small
proof of concept idea but as it was
worked on, it's potential started to
become more evident. In the beginning
the creator spend some
time deciding if wanted to take a
commercial route with the project or
make it open source. GREAT NEWS FOR
HAMS...the project is Open Source!
Goals & Features
In setting out to develop this project
my primary goals and features are to
develop a low cost, low power, but
feature rich duplex repeater
controller suitable for setting up a
temporary / emergency repeater systems
with radios that can be run on
portable power. However with a more
complete feature set and a modular
design, it could also be used as a
primary or a backup controller for a
permeant installation repeater. With
the low cost, modular design, it would
make it easy to keep backup hardware
on site for easy service swap-outs.

 BDARC
(Black Diamond Amateur Radio Club)
was formed in 1955. Like most clubs
it has seen its membership fluctuate
over the years. When the hobby first
went to the "no code tech" licensing
system in the early ‘90's there was
a drastic increase in the number of
folks entering the hobby and a
correspondent increase in club
membership. We had a membership of
close to 100 people in those days.
In later years those numbers have
dwindled - we think in large part
due to the widespread use of cell
phones and other communication
devices. However we now see a
renewed interest in the hobby with
the move away from Morse Code
altogether.
BDARC
owns and maintains a repeater which
operates on frequency 145.370 MHz. it
has a 100. cps tone with negative
offset, located, on the old EOC tower
in Beckley, Raleigh County, West
Virginia, with the club call
of WV8BD!
