A Vintage Tuna Tin Two!
Vintage 1976 Tuna Tin Two
Built by Jack Roblin, WN6KYO, June 1976
The Tuna Tin Two, a QRP 40M Transmitter by Doug DeMaw. QST, May 1976
This classic Tuna Tin Two was built as a project while attending the Amateur Radio Summer school class at Santa Monica High School in California. I was 15 years old when I built this classic little rig. In fact, it was one of the first electronic projects I ever built! What a GREAT project it was too! It helped inspire several others within the class to get their novice licenses. This unique little transmitter, even with its very modest 250 milliwatts output, provided hours of fun and plenty of great contacts during that time.
"The moment I saw the QST cover, I knew I had to build one."
-Jack Roblin, WA6KYO
This is the original photograph used on the May 1976 cover of QST.
Special thanks to Ed Hare W1RFI and the ARRL for providing this classic photo!
Click on the cat's face to see a SPECTACULAR enlarged image of the W1FB Tuna Tin 2! Using my Macintosh and PhotoShop, I've cropped and enlarged the TT2 from the original 4.4 Megabyte BMP image that Ed Hare sent me. Thanks Ed for allowing me to do this. The result is fabulous!!!
