70 MHz Antenna Tuning Unit for the 4 Meter
I decided that I would try a Pi Match circuit

Antenna tuner 150 watts
A tunner witha balun T200-6 should give a better Q but the T200-2 was in stock and gave me sufficient tuning range, the capacitors are radio types and can be used up to 150 Watts
Z-Match Portable Antenna Tuner
I built the Z-Match in about 3-4 days using available parts. decided I wanted to use my Z-Match for 7-21 Mhz operation so I adjusted the coil L1 to give me that range
50 MHz 6 Meter Tuner Circuits
After matching my antenna to a 1.0:1 SWR I measured the capacitor settings: 77pF on the TX side and 36pF on the antenna side
A QRP Transmatch ATU
The inductor, the tricky thing in matching units with variable inductance. For the body I found an old pill container with a diameter of 4cm. The coil is then wound on this with 60 windings of 1mm enameled copper wire
Z-Match Antenna for high performance
For most applications, a capacity of 350 pF for C1 and 2x230 pF for C2 is sufficient, if you want to cover the bands 10-80 m, an extension for 160 m will be presented later

PIC-Keyer This project describes the construction of a real "QRP" keyer with a small microcontroller PIC 16F84, with slightly modified hardware also PIC16F62
RF Inductance Calculator Mean diameter of the air core coil, measured from conductor centre to conductor centre include the wire insulation thickness, if any
Voice Recorder Gestito dall'integrato in questione ed offre la possibilità di registrare più messaggi per una durata massima di un minuto con buona fedeltà di riproduzione
