I am looking at two projects, both of which I may submit to
QST.

The first is a "low" plate voltage (45-90VDC) mini-tube QRP
DSB transceiver (perhaps only a transmitter) using 3A5's and
the like.

The second is a modified 10.7MHz FM portable signal generator
to be used on 30M as a simple digital transmitter (psk31,
pskMail, etc.).

I am not an engineer, which means you can get what I am willing
to call a "final project" off my bench without prying my
fingers off it protesting that it needs "just one more adjustment"!

I have no idea if anyone but me will find either of interest!

Since neither is a tower, antenna, or tuner I suppose further
discussion belongs on another list!
