Like so many ham radio clubs, the club where I’m a member has been struggling with an aging member demographic and declining membership numbers. So at our last meeting we all got homework–come up with 5 ideas to improve meeting attendance and 5 projects that could be done after a meeting.
Me, I cheat. I used search engines. 🙂 I’m a firm believer in not re-inventing the wheel.
Looking at projects, I found a lot of interesting links. It’s a shame to let them all go mostly to waste, since I only need 5 projects. So here they are. Feel free to let your inner maker run wild.
- 5 Ham Radio Projects with Diana Eng: From setting up your shack to building antennas
- 34 Projects tagged with “ham radio”
- VE3ELB Homemade Projects: There are some gems in here, such as a hand push-to-talk switch, a sound card interface and various antenna projects
- Build a dummy load: Plans for several types/capacities of dummy loads
- Magnetic Loop Antennas
- Making Baluns and Ununs
The dummy load project looks particularly interesting.
