The below is a circuit diagram of the "Arduino Uno" QRP beacon. The first Arduino Uno program is for a RTTY beacon, while the second listed program is for sending “Morse Code” via the AD9850 DDS RF Board unit. While the RTTY program uses a data array for the beacon message, the morse code program uses the Arduino IDE monitor application of the Arduino IDE for linking up to the Arduino Uno. The monitor app is used to type a message for transmission via the morse code Arduino program. Please however note, that each program transmitter program is transmitting an RF carrier, the RTTY beacon example is on 40metre band, while the “CW” program is on the 20metre band. By altering the carrier frequency within the program, the transmission frequency can be changed, but the program will need to be re-compiled and uploaded into the Arduino Uno micro-controller. The “CW” program in order to make the “CW” process, the DDS board is powered down and powered up to produce the keyed carrier signal, the process part of the DDS 40bit serial code. Only the carrier frequency value in "Hz" is required for the Arduino Uno program.
To use the Arduino Uno program code, just "copy and paste" from this article into the Arduino IDE editor. Please if you are going to use the RF transmission, be sure that your Amateur Radio or Ham Radio licence is valid.
This Arduino program below is the RTTY Qrp beacon application. The AD9850 is serial programmed.

This Arduino program below is the "CW" morse code Qrp beacon application. The AD9850 is serial programmed.
/* This is a morse code RF transmission program. The Morse code logic is from the
"30 Arduino projects for the evil genius", while the RF modem part came from an
article found on the internet, but much was done extra to the program by myself
to achieve usefull success, otherwise the RF modem transmission program is from the RF RTTY modem.
The two programs have been linked together to produce a QRP RF modem Morse code transmitter.
The AD9850 has no extra amplification for the TX power, just the appropriate band plan RF filtering.
