This looks like a nice addition to the “must have” gear. A tiny tuner weighing in at 72g !

Kit? All my own work! 30m-10m
EDIT: The kit looks nicer than mine, especially the shiny box

Looks nice. Maybe Doug could be persuaded to make his reference to Summits on the Air into a link?

Is there a standard licensing agreement, or is the SOTA name up for grabs? I’d like to market a line of SOTA personal hygene products.

He may, of course, be referring to this SOTA:

Yes, I was wondering about that too … hence part of the reason for posting. I wondered about the use of the name… But you are right a link to drive traffic would be very nice.

You are late; the Banderillero has already left the ring.

An intriguing site. They sell a gizmo that produces a 6000Guass magnetic field and claim this is theraputic. The magnetic field under a 400kV supergrid powerline is at maximum 1Gauss and campaigners against powerlines will tell you all sorts of stories about bad the magnetic field is.
I think one of these groups may be wrong. And possibly both!

Ahhh - they’ve obviously discovered what a happy bunch radio amateurs are - see the description and comments about the “Bio Tuner”! They don’t say what frequencies it produces, mind you …
By the way, very neat “non-bio” tuner, Andy!

I remember you showing me that at the MT meeting, Andy, and am grateful. I have since made a copy tweaked for 40 metres, it works well but with my junk-box polyvaricon the tuning range is nowhere near as wide, I was hoping it would reach 20m but it doesn’t. I am now making a beefed-up version for use at up to 100 watts on 20m with a junk-box brass variable cap that I bought as a teenager for a TRF shortwave receiver, my first homebrew shortwave radio - what goes around comes around!
