Yesterday, I posted a circuit that appeared on Rick's KE3IJ's website back in 2012. This website seems to be no longer there. Does anybody have any information please?

Going home - NOT amateur radio
This photo in our garden was just before they left.
8m QRP FT8 (Monday)
My 2.5W FT8 gear was turned on at about 1000z. No spots yet.
UPDATE 1515z: Although I have been on 8m FT8 all day, no spots on RX or TX. This could just be holiday season, or a slack time of year with fewer F2 and Es openings. Also, most people have worked all the stations available. We need more countries and experimenters on 8m.
Happy 2024! - NOT amateur radio
To all readers of this blog, may I wish you a very happy new year. Ours is a very diverse hobby, that may be enjoyed in all sorts of ways. Whatever your "thing" is, I wish you every success.
Solar data update
Early every month, my favourite site for solar data is updated. It is worth checking to see how things are progressing.
10m QRPP WSPR (Monday)
My QRPP 500uW beacon has been on since 1000z. No spots yet.
UPDATE 1436z: Yet again my 500uW 10m WSPR has been spotted in the Canary Islands.
QRP radios
There’s a wide choice these days in QRP radios unlike years ago . I expect this is, in part, due to the popularity of SOTA and POTA activations where small size and weight are important. One example is the transceiver shown in the photo.

Something for nothing
Like many, I like the idea of getting something for nothing.
This circuit was on the website of KE3IJ some years ago. I think the website is no longer there.
The same idea might even work with a microwatt beacon?
Grandsons - NOT amateur radio
We have two grandsons in their mid teenage years. They grow up so fast. Of course when they get together they are as daft as can be!!
