++++++++++++++++++++ Date: Wed, 22 May 2002 18:26:58 -0400 From: "George Heron N2APB" To: "NoVAQRP" , "NJQRP" , "QRP-L" , Subject: [127145] Rainbow Antenna Analyzer web pages are active As promised, we now have the web pages in place overviewing the major NJQRP design project for 2002 ... the Rainbow Antenna Analyzer - II. N2CX and I presented this project in a major technical session at the FDIM 2002 QRP Forum this past weekend in Dayton. The slides we used then are now able to be viewed on the website and we'll frequently update the site with additional technical detail, description, source code, schematics and application notes as development progresses throughout the summer. We hope to introduce the Analyzer as a kit by the time of NorCal's Pacificon QRP Forum in October. The base kit target price is currently expected to be "less than $100" and we'll do our best to maintain that important goal. The website can be found at http://www.njqrp.org/antanal Hope you all enjoy the material and we invite feedback along the way. 73, George N2APB n2apb at amsat.org Joe N2CX n2cx at voicenet.com PS: This project is an adjunct to the Digital QRP Breadboard presented in my regular QQ column. It uses the same HC908 Daughtercard controller, and in fact everything that is planned to be done on this Analyzer project will be able to be done on the Digital Breadboard - just the form factor will be different. Thus, you might have additional incentive for following along with both of the projects! ;-) ++++++++++++++++++
