This site proclaims that it’s devoted to amateur radio home-brewing, which

translates into some interesting experimentation and idea swapping. With

good color photos of projects and schematics and notes in linked PDF files,

you’ll get some good ideas and even contribute some of your own.

Browse through the Projects page of this site to find a really good idea of

what radio enthusiasts can build when they set their minds to it.

Audio and Music...........................................................................................

If you need music or sound effects for your projects, here are three sites that

are worth a look. They range from a site devoted to guitar effects to a site on

amplifier designs.

Offering a variety of guitar-related projects, the FX Projects page on this site

is a good place to get started with guitar special effects.

There’s no place like home

You also might be able to find knowledgeable

people right in your own backyard:

Check out your local ham radio club.Look

for people with a range of knowledge and

experience, from retired electronics engi-

neers to “Elmers” skilled in building gadgets

from what is available.

Wander into a local hobby shop.For exam-

ple, one such shop near us has several

hobbyists gather around the model train

tracks every Saturday. Folks like this —

even though they might not have the elec-

tronics circuit knowledge you seek — will

have something to share about how to build

the mechanical/structural aspects of your

projects.
