Generating Morse (CW) with Atmel Microcontrollers

As part of my qrpTracker project, I made a morse code signaling library for the Arduino. It uses callback functions so that the person using the library can specify exactly what happens when the signal goes 'on' and 'off'. It foregoes any sort of clever data-packing to store the dits and dahs and just calls functions within a long 'switch statement', an arrangement that I find more readable and just as compact after compiler optimization.

This library is more suited for integration into a larger project. For really small beacons, I like Alan VK2ZAY's  code posted in his 80m beacon project page, operating on a ATtiny13V! This was mentioned in a comment to a brainwagon posting regarding Arduino CW code.

'Satpack' Arduino tracker PCB

Lots of progress with 'satpack', my Arduino-based full-doppler-tuning satellite tracking application. On the right, you see a cardboard mockup of the pcb. On the software side, I've checked a fully working version of the code into the SVN repository.

Building the AA2TX Parasitic (Or 'Passive') Lindenblad for 70cm

The AA2TX parasitic lindenblad, which was published in Feb 2010 QST (and has been available online for some time), is proving to be an enjoyable project. I have modified some components because I could not find them here in Atlantic Canada. The #8 aluminum wire for the passive elements is not in our big box stores (different wiring regulations?), and the PVC ferrules require a special order, at least at this point in the year, when no sane person would be installing eavestroughing. So I made do with what I had, and the results are encouraging.
