HOME MADE

Sometime I like to try build something .. I'm not really an expert, but I love to have something made by me, and if works will be also better !

In my past here, when I started this hobby, I was able to build different antenna's, starting from Multiband Dipole, Morgain 40/80, Quad and Yagi.

Recently I started trying to building something more complicated for me .... 

I have build my QRP Station the  SW20+ from Small Wonder Labs and with my great surpise, the little trasmitter start to work very good almost immediately; I was helped by a friend to setup perfectly the rig, and now is working great !


Now my QRP home made station needed a home made key .... so I started looking for something nice small ... At the end I found this fantastic Horizontal Key from Kent  .. few components, a couple of hours to assembly and ready to go immediately !





 And here below the Key completed with a plastic transparent cover ! 
Ready to go !
