You would be "better served" by looking at the ARRL* amateur handbooks if they are available to you (library or). They cover the relevant theory and many practical aspects. Those circuits MAY work for you but you would be largely "on your own" when trying to use them together or extend them or. Even asking many people many endless questions about them would be likely to be far less valuable than 'tapping in' to a quality source. * ARRL: American Radio Relay League. http://www.arrl.org/ Also RSGB http://www.rsgb.org/ You can probably obtain 'results of a sort' the way you are going but overall you are so far outside your comfort, knowledge or experience zone that starting with as solid a technical foundation as possible is strongly advised. Trying to utilise semi random minimally documented, naively described circuits from the internet is liable to cause you even more pain than necessary.
