Ian Purdie’s electronics tutorial radio design pages......................

http://my.integritynet.com.au/purdic

This site, designed for amateur ham radio and electronic project enthusiasts,

includes tutorials and information about project kits as well as links to sup-

pliers of ham radio equipment. You can find information on radio terminology

if you’re new to ham and want to sound cool. Here you can find links to

books, software, and more.

QRP Quarterly.....................................................................................

http://www.qrparci.org

This journal of the non-profit QRP Amateur Radio Club International is pub-

lished (logically enough) four times a year by a group of hardworking volun-

teers. Every issue is packed with often interesting articles by some big names

in the amateur radio world. QRP Quarterlyprovides a wealth of circuits, elec-

tronic projects, and schematics in a very professional format.

Australian Radio Resource Page ......................................................

http://www.alphalink.com.au/~parkerp/project.htm

Admittedly “home-brewed,” the projects offered here sometimes contain

articles and supporting information, but many offer only a schematic and

some notes, so you might have to figure out some things on your own. Projects

range from broadcast and shortwave to marine and scanning devices. If

you’re a radio history buff, you can get in a time machine by visiting the

archives here to read articles written way back in the 1990s.

QRP/SWL HomeBuilder .....................................................................

http://www.qrp.pops.net/default.htm

The QRP/SWL HomeBuilder site is great for short wave radio buffs, featuring

many projects with clearly drawn schematics and often helpful pictures.

The Junk Box feature is where the site owner posts ideas and experiments

in progress, so it’s an interesting way to study how a fellow ham radio devo-

tee thinks.
