http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll...tem=5794274544 MY GOSH LOOK WHAT ALL COMES IN IT: 1. Book - "STEALTH: AMATEUR RADIO, OPERATE FROM ANYWHERE" by Kirk A. Kleinschmidt, NT0Z, Published by the ARRL. The book teaches you how to: a) set up and operate an Amateur Radio station without calling attention to yourself, b) successfully operate a low power (QRP) station, c) install safe antennas, including indoor antennas, d) build invisible antennas, e) operate a portable station from a campground, motel room, picnic area, mountaintop or other location, f) handle interference from your station to nearby consumer electronics devices as well as to your station from other nearby devices. This is a very nice book, and it's in great shape--cover price was 14.95 2. CDROM - "AmQRP HOMEBREWER" Issue #4 - Summer 2004. The magazine opens automatically when the CD is placed in the CDROM drive. The CD contains PDF files, past issues, kits, software, files, projects, etc, and the contents a IQ-VFO, Handling Harmonics, Power Meter, PIC-Wx, Nuts and Bolts RF Design, Using SPICE, Test topics, Universal Doublet, Versatile ATU, BLT Building notes, Radio To Go, QRP Operating, and more. Fantastic resource! 3. CDROM - "The Best Collection of Ham Radio Software v1.2a" This CD includes Morse Code Lessons in MP3 Files for you to practice with. Very neat. This has so much stuff on it, I cannot even begin to list it all. Incredible CD, truly. 4. One (1) STEALTH Slinky Dipole Antenna with feeder wire It looks similar to a CliffDweller II but it has the leader line. (I think it's 15 or 20 feet or so of feeder wire--and it's the flat kind that has about a quarter inch of plastic separating the two wires inside the feeder). This antenna has never been used. The feeder wire had gotten snipped accidently, but I was able to repair it very nicely with solder and heat shrink tubing. This is the cool dipole antenna that has 2 actual "slinkys" (the kind you buy for a kid in a store) - one on each "pole of the antenna". And you can stretch the slinkys out as loong as you want to set it up, or in a tight space you can let them hang down. These are good for SW listening as well as HF transmitting--covers the entire HF frequency range with a good antenna tuner. Perfect for Stealth. See picture below. Also, these are being sold on the web and on ebay for around 30.00. 5. One (1) Portable Antenna System (No Counterpoise Required) These can be cut for 10-20-30 Meters, I believe. Perfect for portable/QRP operation. I have never used this antenna system it is still in the ziplock bag it came in. It has 2 wires one green one red. There was a catchy name for it but I can't remember what it's called. I hear it works great with an antenna tuner outdoors. These sell new for around 19.95 on the web and ebay. 6. A total of six (6) Crystals that are QRP relevant frequencies, as follows: 3.56 (regular size), 7.040 (super-tiny cylindrical), 7.040 (regular size) 14.057 (regular size), 14.058 (regular size), 14.060 (super-tiny cylindrical). These are all brand new/tested and have never been used. Total cost was 3.00 each (18.00 total) 7. One (1) Erickson Engineering Dipole Center Feeder Model #DCT-100S (See pictures) Includes two insulators to connect the antenna to a supporting structure. This little gem has never been used. These go for around 10.00 on the web or ebay. 8. One (1) Erickson Engineering 9:1 HF Voltage Balun - 25W, (See pictures)Model #QRP-91VB. This item is brand new and has never been used. This is a really neat little Balun with a BNC connector on one side then banana-plug (screw-on) posts on the other. I think these are normally around 9.00 each. 9. Two (2) Weller Soldering Tips--a) Conical Tip and b) Long Conical Tip - Brand new in the packages- fits many Weller soldering irons, perfect for qrp use and working with surface mount components. ;-) Original cost about 7.00 for both tips. 10. Two (2) BNC Binding Post Adapters--One has a male BNC connector and the other one has a female BNC connector. This is one of the most popular items in QRP because it allows you to hook to variable (random) length wires up through the adapter to a BNC connection. This allows you to handle just about any antenna hook up scenario. (I am also including a female-to-female BNC adapter in case it is needed). These BNC Binding Post Adapters go for 5.00 each on ebay. 11. Finally, I am including the Printed Circuit Board, the 40-pin Integrated Circuit (U1), and the instructions for making the "Melt-Solder" DDS Controller which comes from the Fall 2003 Issue of Homebrewer magazine. The instructions are included in a copy of the article which is included. You will, however, have to purchase or obtain the remaining needed parts on your own in order to complete the kit. Again, you get the PCB, the 40-pin IC, and the article/instructions. I am not sure what this cost originally. YOU CAN GET THIS PACKAGE AT EBAY ON A "BUY IT NOW" IMMEDIATELY FOR 35.00, WHAT A FANTASTIC DEAL! GO HERE TO CHECK IT OUT BEFORE SOMEONE ELSE SNAGS IT BEFORE YOU: http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll...tem=5794274544 Thanks, Todd K4MSW Baton Rouge, Louisiana |
