In this episode, Tobias KK7BCO and I continue our discussion on the Stockton Bidirectional Wattmeter and SWR Indicator project, covering our progress, build experiences, and what we’ve learned along the way. With Adam K6ARK unavailable this month, Mitch NK3H joins the roundtable and shares details from his RF power amplifier build, including design considerations, challenges, and lessons learned from the project.
If you enjoy QRP, portable operations, electronics, and building your own gear, this episode is for you. We also announce our next scratch-build project, so be sure to follow along as we continue building, experimenting, and learning together over the coming episodes.
This episode wraps up the Stockton Bidirectional Wattmeter / SWR Indicator build and kicks off the next project in our ongoing scratch-build series.
