Short Biography: 
I have been involved in Ham radio since 1996, when I won an Alinco DJ-180 at the Green Country Ham Fest in Tulsa Oklahoma. Having the radio was one heck of an inducement to getting my license! Since then, I've become interested in APRS, QRP, ARES, and a number of other Ham/Electronics/Robotics areas. Please check out my personal website (above) for more details

The Tuna Tin 2 is a simple transmitter originally designed by the legendary author and experimenter Doug DeMaw, W1FB. The TT2 was first published in the May 1976 issue of QST. Doug's intent was to put forth a design for a low cost QRP transmitter that could be duplicated easily using parts obtained locally from Radio Shack.

Cook Up Your Own Emergency Power Pack When you buy one of these commercial power packs - you know, the kind you can use to jumpstart your car in case your car battery is flat - do you really know in what condition the battery is? Unless you tested it, you probably don't. I certainly didn't. I purchased one I thought was fresh and kept it charged religiously. Or so I thought. When it was time to actually use it during a brief power outage to power a radio, the power pack proved to be powerless.

They have lots of information for those interested in the system, as well as anecdotal stories about using it in various configurations, at some beautiful outdoor venues...
