40m on a glue stick

With Nick Wood, M0NTV

Nick will show you how to use a regular glue stick housing—in a rather novel way—to form the basis of a variable tuning inductor in a homemade 40m receiver.

After a brief description of a direct conversion receiver and short technical explanation of how it works, Nick dives into four separate modules. Nick shows the schematic—and then photos of the actual build—of each stage plus some test results. At the end, he strings it all together and webinar attendees will be able to see and hear some video footage of how it sounds, and what it can do.

Tonight @ 8 webinars are live-streamed on our YouTube channel and special BATC channel, allowing you to watch the presentations and ask questions online

All Tonight @ 8 webinars start 20.00 UK local time
