Hammo Can PART III

Oh yeah, we're gonna build a 10 meter one! What's really scary is that this doesn't have SSB or CW capability.

Hammo Can 2.0 PART II

 Okay so the previous post in this series may have been a bit TOO ambitious.

Hammo Can 2.0

The project that was supposed to be but evolved into something else.

If you recall a few years ago, I built a portable battery box using a $5 plastic ammo can. It works phenomenal with my CB and ham radios. If I need a 12V source to test circuits with, I can also use it as a portable power supply. But what about my original idea?

Yet ANOTHER Way to Convert from CB to 10 (CB to CW Part V)

Yep, another way. Just found it out today.

If you want a 10 meter radio that's channelized or if you don't want to try your hand at computer science, try this modification instead! The cost: Well below $10 or even $5. The candidate: A Midland 13-866 (or the 853 if it gets fixed).

CB to CW Part 4: Wireless UI

Let me ask you something...

What is the number one thing that you have with you at all times? A pencil? Earphones? How about your cellphone?

In today's post, I'm going to be simplifying my CW CB radio to take away the OLED and rotary encoder to provide you with an easier user interface accessible via a web browser. After this, you should have a roughly-speaking software defined radio!

CB to CW Part 3: The Final Installation

 I graduated college!!! Now what am I going to do?

CB to CW PART 2

 In a previous post, I briefly discussed a way to convert an AM-only crystal-controlled CB radio into a 10 meter QRP CW rig with some additional features. Now that I've discussed the theory, I've written this post to track my progress and give you some information should you want to do the same.

A Fun CB and/or 10M Project

 Back at it again with CB radio...but this time, with a twist.

My Thoughts on Citizens Band

 So I'm not one for making opinion posts...but...

I want to make it clear - CB radio is what got me into ham radio. I remember going down to clean out our basement one day when I was about 10 and I stumbled upon a bluish-grey metal box with a mic coming out of it. It was a Roadmaster (Royal Sound) RE4000 CB radio - and it changed my life forever. And for all you CBers reading this post - I hope that I can speak for all of you...
