 QST October 1989, pp. 25-30
 This low-power, direct-conversion CW transceiver covers 18, 21 and 24 MHz, and includes sidetone, spotting and relay-less full break-in --- all on one circuit board!
- Build A Tuna-Tin 2 
 QST May 1976, pp. 14-16
 Ham radio lost its kick? Go QRP with this weekend project transmitter! WAS with a 40-meter half-watter? You betcha!
- The Tuna Tin 2 Today 
 QST March 2000, pp. 37-40
- The CB Slider  
 QST March 1977, pp. 15-17
 Would you like to operate the Tuna Tin Two but not crazy about crystal control?
- The NORCAL SIERRA: An 80-15 Meter CW  Transceiver 
 ARRL Handbook 1996, pp. 17.89-17.95
 This project is available as a complete kit from Wilderness Radio.

 QST February 1990, pp. 19-23, 36
 A directional wattmeter that's simple, portable, and accurate from 10 watts down to 5 milliwatts!
- Updating the W1FB 80-Meter  "Sardine Sender" 
 QST November 2001, pp. 54-56
 Build a “modern” version of this old classic QRP transmitter.
 Feedback: March 2002, p. 42 – The value of capacitors C6, C8, C9 and C12 should be 0.1uF
- A Multimode Phasing Exciter For 1 to 500 MHz  
 QST April 1993, pp. 27-31
 A simple transmitter that generates SSB, CW and more. (a mate to High-Performance, Single-Signal Direct-Conversion Receivers )
- A Small High-Performance CW  Transceiver
