The BITX Story

Farhan VU2ESE designed and published the first BITX transceiver.  His web page documents that work:

http://www.phonestack.com/farhan 

Shortly after that event, the BITX discussion group on Yahoo Groups was started by Farhan VU2ESE and Hans G0UPL:

http://groups.yahoo.com/group/bitx20/ 

Hans G0UPL put together the first parts kits for building your own BITX20.  Since that time there have been many BITX transceivers built using "ugly construction" method, and several now offer kit versions for 20 meters, and other bands:

QRPKITS.COM  BITX20A, BITX17A, BITX40A

BITX-40 Partial Kit from India (http://www.hfsigs.com/)

80 Meter BITX (MKARS80) 

 In addition, there have been several PCB layouts published via the discussion group, and a PCB set for Farhan's original BITX20 is available from  Far Circuits


Leonard KC0WOX has contributed immensely to the BITX knowledge base, and by providing help for those having trouble with their BITX builds.  Leonard's BITX work is found on his web page at
