Welcome to my web site.
My name is Bill ( AB5XQ) Holt
My page is dedicated to the art of home brewed QRP (low power, less than 5 watts) amatuer radio.

I build all of my own equipment from scratch even the Printed circuit boards and cases.
Here I attended the four state QRP club meeting in September.

Putting my "home brewed" SST through it's paces.

checking what the others have brought

Here is the "home brewed" SST (Simple Superhet Tansceiver)
