Here's my most recent project:

I prototyped this design on a Heathkit Digital Electronics Trainer because all of the analog electronics boards were being used by the Radio Class and Club. Thankfully, this board had the 12 VDC (I measured and it actually was 11.7 VDC but it was still within the 10 to 14 VDC that were listed) that this circuit required. This is not a finished project, however. I still need to add the secondary antenna windings (6 turns to connect to a coaxial adapter) and I want to add an audio transformer in series with the +12 VDC input to make an AM Transmitter.

Yep! I've worked on an SSTV Encoder and Decoder for a NASA Internship!

Below is an example of the SSTV encoding.

My projects for it are available on my GitHub:

The sooner, the better

Amateur Radio is awesome!
