Fant denne på K9JYs blog: Reversible Beverage Array by OH2BEN
Seventeen pages of how to build beverages — using the KISS method. Tom, OH2BEN, notes:
Because I am not an engineer or technically oriented person, this is also a learning process for me. I am good to solder PL259’s, but all electronic stuff is beyond my understanding. But I am learning. And I can assure you, that it takes a lot of time to understand all technical nuances and there are still a lot of things what I cannot understand. Therefore all notes are just how I understand it and in a KISS way. And therefore you cannot expect to see some nice or new ideas
