That's
fantastic Farhan!

I
didn't even know that polo's could be found outside the UK! When my brothers and
I were kids and used to visit our Grandparents, my Grandmother would always give
us each a tube of polo's to eat on the drive home. I love the idea, I will have
to try it sometime! A tube of polos would have enough mints to build more than
one BITX20, and are much cheaper than tap washers!

That has got to be the sweetest
transceiver I have ever heard of!

everyone around the
room).
i was just about to ask them to go out to play, to let me play
my thing,
when i was offered ... a polo. the mint with a hole.
it
immediately went into the direct conversion receiver as a VFO coil.
quite stable.
now, a single roll will be enough to build the
entire BITX, although I am
not sure of the losses. You will have to
cover it with some epoxy
paint/glue to make sure that ants dont eat up
your rig.
i will report back from the toroid sucking convention
soon.
