Hello Hams,
I wrote an article for my website on how to build a home-brew 9v battery clip from recycled parts. It is a fun and easy activity (and a good excuse to fire up the soldering iron).

Doctor/795,
I plan to post a new article to my website NJ2X.COM at each stage of the build with pictures and any "lesson's learned". Next in the series went out this morning.

Hams,
I recently ordered a neat little QRP KN-Q7N 40m SSB kit. I will be posting a series of articles to my website (NJ2X.COM) documenting the build. KN-Q7A Single Band SSB Transceiver Kit - New Arrival. Looking forward to getting started.
Anyone else have experience with this kit? If...
Thank you for the comments. Looking forward to a 2012 with plenty of projects and the smell of solder in the workshop. I will definately keep an eye out for the return of Heathkit radio related kits. In the meantime, I have a neat QRP transceiver kit ordered. Stay tuned to mysite (NJ2X.COM)...

I added a post to my website (NJ2X.COM) to help people learn about soldering, "Soldering...
Anderson Powerpoles
Hams,
I love the Anderson Powerpole connectors too. I even used them for my portable solar power setup to interconnect all the various parts. Perhaps I will write that up for a future article for my website (NJ2X.COM).

Zone of noise
I drive through a "zone of noise" on my commute to work for a mile or so. All AM radio is completely blocked out and FM is sometimes affected. I believe it comes from powerlines. There is a water plant and some manufacturing nearby too so they are possible candidates.
Hams,
I recently launched my website NJ2X.COM. It has been an interesting learning experience getting it started. Hope you all stop by and check it out.
