This is a short video showing "Chirpy" (XBM10-2), my 14 component 28MHz CW transceiver. More details can be found at my website http://sites.google.com/site/g3xbmqrp/Home/xbm10_2. Best DX is still IT9QAU/QRP but I am hoping for further soon. This is a simple project and, as with all very simple radio projects, it is a compromise between cost, complexity and performance. Nonetheless it DOES work remarkably well for something so simple. AM breakthrough is almost non-existent too, which was a bonus. Couple the audio into a PC rather than a crystal earpiece and as a bonus you have an SDR receiver capable of copying from about 28.040-28.080kHz. Why the name Chirpy will be evident when you hear the keying!
Last night, I heard my mama singing a song Ooh-We, Chirpy, Chirpy, Cheep, Cheep Woke up this morning and my mama was gone Ooh-We, Chirpy, Chirpy, Cheep, Cheep Chirpy, Chirpy, Cheep, Cheep, Chirp
