What's in QST this month -- July, 1991
Technical
"Feeding Dipole Antennas"
Last month, I covered dipole-antenna basics. This time
I'll show what it takes to get RF from your rig to a
dipole--and how to make that antenna radiate as much of
your signal as possible.
"A Single-Board, No-Tune 902-MHz Transverter"
Using printed band-pass filters, monolithic microwave
integrated circuits and an on-board local oscillator,
this inexpensive transverter brings new ease to 33-
centimeter operation.
"A Light and Sturdy Quad for 10 and 15 Meters"
Fishin' for DX? A few fishin' poles and a hank of wire
can help you snag the Big One!
"Build a Portable Groundplane Antenna"
Need a better antenna for your hand-held radio? Here's
the answer.
"An Introduction to Digital Signal Processing"
DSP makes headlines even in an age where digital seems
to be applied to just about everything electronic--and
now it's part of Amateur Radio. Here's a look at what
DSP is and can do.
"A Simple, Effective Dual-Band Inverted-L Antenna"
Classic ham-antenna types are classics for a reason:
They've worked predictable and well for several
generations of hams. Here's how to put such an
antenna--the inverted L--to work on the low bands.

Being the first hams to send fast-scan amateur

the US and elsewhere share in the celebration.
"The Old Guard"
He's standing firmly on shore these days, but this old
salt go his feet wet in radio in the days before
organized Amateur Radio.
