Matjaz is the man.  Amateur pilots might build their own airplanes, but only
the hardcore ones build their own avionics!  

Not many hams have built and described as many interesting projects as he
has, but his work never got the exposure it deserved because few people
could find it (or read it), since so much of it was published in Soviet-era
Yugoslavia.  I've had his archive site bookmarked for a long time (
http://s53mv.s56g.net/archive/archive.html ) even though I can't read most
of it.

Andrew Holme's homebrew GPS page is, if anything, even more approachable:
http://www.holmea.demon.co.uk/GPS/Main.htm  It's been mentioned before as
well, but is worth keeping in mind if anyone really has ambitions towards
building their own L1 receiver.
