QRP Dummy Load

 

The NorCal Club continues to supply the QRP community with useful and fun projects. There are 48 2.2K ohm resistors, 1 capacitor and 1 diode on this very small board. Resistors are mounted on both sides of the board.

 

I wanted to mount the circuit board in some sort of case and after digging through my junk box, I came up with this Altoids gum tin. It turned out to be just the right size but the supplied BNC connector make it impossible to use the tin. I replace the supplied BNC connector with a SMA mount.

 

These pictures show how small the connector is.
