After years of listening to Soldersmoke, Ham Radio Workbench, and others... I finally knuckled down and got my general (KM7ABZ).

Ironically, I just started building the SolderSmoke DC RX🙄 so TX will have to wait for another day!

A while ago, the #SolderSmoke podcast issued a challenge to build a direct conversion receiver.
The ham shack resource manager (KA1PQK) at #MakeItLabs organized a group project. Together, we each built our own copy of each module.
I decided to go further than mounting it on a simple board ...

DIY (in Ham Radio) is decidedly not a "lost art" - if you want it...

=== SolderSmoke -- Homebrew Ham Radio ===

Here's a home brew receiver - set on the 40 meter band - demonstrated by the builder:
