You'll enjoy countless hours operating this tiny high performance radio. Build the kit in just a few hours, and you'll be working the world with low-power fun!

Whether you're taking a 10-minute DX break from your computer at work or home or back-packing in the mountains, the Cub is a great way to put the magic back into your ham radio.

The Cub uses Surface Mount Technology (SMT) to achieve big performance in a pocket-sized package. The kit has all SMT parts mounted and soldered. You just insert and solder the through-hole parts such as the connectors, inductors and trimmer caps/pots.

The Cub is portable: set it up anywhere, and tuck it out of the way when its not in use!

In the spirit of the popular QRP Classics and QRP Power published in the 1990s, More QRP Power is an anthology of articles from recent issues of QST and QEX magazines covering construction practices, transceivers, transmitters, receivers, accessories, and antennas. Here are dozens of projects and articles to help you assemble or improve a QRP station for home or travel.

QRP means radio operating with low power—5 watts or less. If you are used to operating with a 100 watt transceiver, you may wonder why anyone would do this.

Radio amateurs (hams) enjoy the magic of communicating over the air with their own equipment, without the benefit of the billions of dollars worth of infrastructure working behind the scenes to power the telephone and Internet.

QRP operators take that one step further, communicating over the air with simple equipment and antennas and only a few watts of power. They savor the satisfaction that comes with finishing a challenging radio contact. They enjoy assembling a tiny station that they can take anywhere, getting on the air with a radio the size of a paperback book and an antenna that folds up into a briefcase or knapsack.

Why not give QRP a try? And if you are already addicted, why not try a new antenna or accessory? Whether you want to build a complete station from scratch or just an item or two to use with your kit or commercial QRP transceiver, you'll find it here.

Written to meet the needs of amateurs and experimenters who have an interest in low power radio techniques below 200 kHz. Most of the techniques described are targeted at those using the 136 kHz band, but they are also of great interest to readers in New Zealand and Australia with the 183 kHz band and the Lowfers in the USA on 180 kHz.

The bulk of the material in the book comprises contributions from experimenters world wide and covers antennas, propagation, transmitters, special modes and test equipment, and discusses some applications such as communication with caving enthusiasts.

All those interested in exploring the new frontier of the LF bands will welcome this invaluable and unique reference, whether they tend to transmitting or are content just to receive.
