Mark
& Hans,
?
Many
thanks for your replies.? Small rectangular pads should work
just
fine,
and those I can come up with - I don't know why it didn't occur
to
me.
?
Thanks
for your help,
Bruce/nd8i

I
don't think the difference between "ugly" and "Manhatten" methods is
all
that much.
My method is a bit of a hybrid I suppose. Mostly
ugly. But if I find a point
needs to be better anchored I sometimes use a
10M resistor to ground (ok for
low impedance signal points) or a .22uF
capacitor to ground (ok for dc
voltage points).
Sometimes I find I
want pads. I mounted all the BITX20 inductors and
trifilar transformers on
pads. But not nice circular pads like in the copper
island construction
kit. I just find scraps of PCB stock and cut them up
into rough squares
approximately 5mm x 5mm with a wire cutter. They're ugly
but it works and
takes literally seconds.
