If you are attempting to use an older CD on 64 bit windows, then see this note which may help if you are having problems. This latest DVD, however, has a 64 bit loader and should have no problems - depending on your security settings. If that turns out to be an issue then browse to the "index.htm" file on the DVD and run that.

Members who use Macs will find they are unable to open Sprat #153. They will get a file not found error. The solution is to copy the entire contents onto their hard drive and run it from there having renamed the file "Sprat153.pdf" to "sprat153.pdf". Macs are case sensitive (as are Linux PC's)

On the DVD FAQ page the datasheet referred to is missing from the DVD. That datasheet is here.

Copyright 1995 by Drew Diamond, G-QRP Club edition 2014 : The original and first Radio Projects book. We sold a reprint (Orange cover) for a few years in the late 90s. Now we have had a reprint with a matching cover to the other 3 projects books. Power Supplies - Receivers - Transmitters - Antennas - Test Equipment.Drew's books all include circuits and hints on building a variety of projects - there are many B/W photographs, plans and diagrams of lots of projects and much much more.

Drew Diamond - Radio projects Vol 2 (Reprinted, with permission, by the G QRP Club).
Copyright 2001 by Drew Diamond, G-QRP Club edition 2009 : More of Drew's projects continued on from volume 1. Nothing is repeated, construction data and plenty of diagrams. Lots of hints - a gold mine of information for the home constructor.

Drew Diamond - Radio projects Vol 3 (Reprinted, with permission, by the G QRP Club).
Copyright 2004 by Drew Diamond, G-QRP Club edition 2008 : This third edition has many more projects for the amateur builder. Nothing is duplicated from previous volumes, just much much more of of it. Again all projects are fully described with circuits, diagrams, layouts and construction hints. Another gold mine for the home constructor ham.

Drew Diamond - Radio projects Vol 4 (Reprinted, with permission, by the G QRP Club).
Copyright 2008 by Drew Diamond, G-QRP Club edition 2009 : This is the latest volume of Drew's projects. Again, nothing is duplicated from previous volumes - more receivers, transmitters, antennas and much more. If the third edition was a gold mine, this is a diamond mine of fabulous information for all hams whether beginners, or advanced. We defy anyone to read any of the Drew books and go away without lots of hints and tips they had not thought about before.
