I started building a Norcal 2N2/30 the other weekend. The last thing I can remember testing is the RX pre-amp and so far everything has worked well. I am trying to understand the circuit as I am building, but that is a challenge to say the least!

My first impressions of the kit and manual are that I am really impressed! Having the photos of each stage makes it much simpler to locate things on the board, and the stage by stage testing really is making me feel better as I go. I do wish there was a sentence or two at each section describing how that stage worked, but alas the manual is already 65 pages long!

Here are some funnies.

Perhaps I shouldn’t have tried to build this out of junk parts..

I got the compulsion to setup a live stream from my radio. It is sitting at 7.040 right now, and you can hear it at N1JER’s live stream

This radio is located at the top of Sunset Park in Brooklyn, NY. It is a superhet with about a 400hz wide filter, into an inverted V about 30 feet up at the peak.

This link will almost certainly be dead in a few days, so if this post is more than a week old don’t be surprised if nothing works.

EDIT: I changed the server for this to conserve upstream bandwidth, and to make it so that my dynamic IP was no longer an issue. The stream may stay up for some time as it is fun.
