Re: Fried torroids
I suspect the popular thinking is that "if it is good at 1 GHz, then it

This "put it in the microwave to test for RF properties" comes up in
amateur radio publications now and then. I have doubts that this method
gives meaningfull results. After all you are testing at

Fried torroids
Well just thought I had to add my own contribution on this topic...
In my BITX20 I have used 1/2 inch black plastic tapwashers from the local

I too had questions about the RF capability of 'tap washers", so I

Thanks for the great idea. Sub-circuit PCB layouts using Farhan's
bi-directional amplifiers should find application in many other
