Episode 296 - Charlie Morris - ZL2CTM
Charlie
Morris, ZL2CTM, builds his QRP rigs, the old fashioned way, starting with a
paper and pencil, combining basic components to make each stage of a
receiver or transceiver. Once the radio is made, he adds an Arduino
micro-controller, touch screen, and other advanced components to bring his
masterpiece into the 21st century. Charlie is a prolific creator of
You-Tube videos to document and demonstrate his creations. ZL2CTM is my
QSO Today.

Good first project: Build a direct conversion receiver

Greatest challenge facing amateur radio now: Getting young blood through
the door.

Excited most by: Inexpensive boards for building projects, gps, dds,
arduino, SDR

Advice to new or returning hams: Find something that you enjoy and get in
to it. Dont need to buy the greatest rig.
