Great hints for making/improving radios ...
Great hints for making/improving radios and radio gadgets, antennaz. Etc. Full of ideas. One of a long series back to 1950's from ARRL. Ham should get every 3 years or more as technology changes.

Decorative beautiful half size model that actually works
Beautiful brass, compass works fine and sun dial need not be used. However, if you want to check your real sun time, use compass to find north, correct for local geographic north and open sundial arms. Shadow points at true time. If you are in middle of time zone, will be exact. Typically +/_ 30 minutes from west e d or east end of time zone to center. True north is at north pole but magnetic north us in far north central Canada. So Kansas to Indianna, no big deal, error 1 or 2 degrees. Wash. DC must add about 10 degrees for true north. Compass points a little to the left. Az is opposite. Check google for your area, deviation and variation. Before wire telegraph comms, the states and towns went by local sun time and used sun dial to set clocks. Railroads invented time zones to help schedules. Large sundials, correcy aligned by compass are very accurate to better than a minute. Also by checking difference between your standard time on a watch and sun time, the dif. in minutes tells how far east or west you are from the mid point of the time zone. But it also looks beautful on the mantle.

nice, works to bring dc and control interface to ft857 from MFJ autotuner.
nice, works to bring dc and control interface to ft857 from MFJ autotuner., BUT read both manuals, procedure a little complicated at first, while tuner is learning. Once memories are in there for settings on each band/band portions, tuning is almost instant.
