Equipment / Construction of Shortwave beacon
« on: July 20, 2021, 0745 UTC »
I started a project a couple of days ago, that i would like to share and get some input on. This is a shortwave beacon, that is going to be placed in a forrest and transmitt its callsign and some information about its voltage and temperature on the HF-band, probably somewhere on the 7000-7200kHz.

I have a small crystal oscillator, and a arduino UNO to control it and put it all in a 3d-printed enclosure designed for this project. I also threw in a fan, if temperature would be a problem. I live in Scandinavia, but we do have high temperatures in the summer. The power source will be a small solar panel.
All the parts for the transmitter hasnt arrived yet, but i will keep posting when i make progress.
