Hello,

I'm trying to find some simple receiver (or at least a converter)
project for 440 or 144 MHz to build. I'm interested in CW mode. But
there's nothing.
Is it very hard to build something for 70 cm or there are another
reasons, that I can't find anything?



Julian,

I do not know where you are looking.

IF you have an HF transceiver there are VHF transverters available from
both
Ten-Tec and Elecraft

Elecraft will have a 440 transverter available in the near future

Hamtronics - VHF and UHF kits since 1962
Receive converter kits (less enclosure) are only $ 49 USD

Or, better, Down-East Microwave in New Jersey. They sell kits for 50 MHz
and up, up, up.

Reliable outfit, reliable gear. They've been at it for many years.
