Episode 060 - Pete Juliano - N6QW
Maybe the ultimate home-brew project is to build
the modern "KWM4" based on the Collins KWM2, then soup it up, like a
hotrod, with an Arduino microprocessor, a digital synthesizer, and a
digital display. This was and is Pete Juliano, N6QWs dream rig. Pete joins
Eric, 4Z1UG, for a conversation on homebrewing, construction technique, and
ham radio on QSO Today.
