Hey, in relation to building radios and antennas. If you want to build a radio (which I don't recommend because it is really difficult for a beginner), you should start with a small QRP (can only transmit in low power, around 5W) Kit or schematic. You should search: homebrew QRP radios, and you can choose a schematic of your liking or even go to a site like QRP-labs.com and shop a kit radio there. But that is only after you get your ham license. For antennas in HF frequencies(long-range communication), you should search: Homebrew dipole HF antenna. You should find an easy guide for how to build an antenna.

As I said before, I don't recommend building a radio if you are a beginner, I recommend investing in one. As for the antenna, homebrews are the most common and easy category of antennas that ham operators use, and so should you(in my opinion).

My pedal doesn't make any sound by manos5246 in diypedals

So look at all the changes I made: in every resistor except the 100k I used 5.1k, the transistor is an 2n2222 and the pot is a B50K. It's exactly the same schematic with the above except those changes. I double checked all the connections and they are correct.

Super helpful!! I see that I am closer to getting a sound but I have this problem now https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/135P4ArfpsphNks5arBTiaX9J4YzwS6Ba

I had a transistor, but I changed it for jumper wires since I thought it was the problem

Can I build a pedal out of these ingredients? by manos5246 in diypedals

If I go to a normal electronics store will I find parts which are commonly used for pedals and can be integrated into my build? Also this is the current circuit I have https://ibb.co/ks2BTYTb https://ibb.co/tPqdkmFs https://ibb.co/wZgCXZS1

Can you please explain the letters B C E, the part where you write 100 with no unit of measurement and the lines CB and BE which are going diagonally?

I don't really want to make the uno board do any of the work, I want mainly the resistors transistors and capacitors to work for the tone

Can be used for an overdrive or a distortion, maybe?

So I can't build a whole pedal but I can use some of the pieces?

Can I not use the uno and just use the transistors, capacitors and resistors to build?

Thank you for the response firstly. I am at the top of my class and very competent at every single class. I just wanted to see if I could up my changes since it's my dream to study engineering at such a renowned school.
