The common thread in all of these projects is a matrix of resistors and switches that provides a specific ohmic value to the radio, triggering a response by the radio. This response can be sending a keyer memory, changing a frequency, or — in the case of the Kenwood project

    Antennas
    I have been doing a lot of work on direction-finding antennas lately, so it sure seemed like it would be a good topic for this issue. In Photo A, we have the classic ferrite rod antenna used in most AM radios, often called a wave magnet in the early

    Two months ago, in August, we started with a discussion of fundamental antennas and how they evolved. Probably 90% of the antennas you will work with over your amateur radio career will be one of those basic ones or a derivation of one. This month I
