Just to add a little more noise to the conversation (see what I did there?) I built something like that based on an old design by N0SS.

William - I score them on both sides with a fresh, sharp box cutter blade (Stanley, Exacto - that type of thing) and a steel rule. Do it very carefully, as if the ruler and blade slip, you'll end up

In the post earlier today about tariffs there was mentioned the pricing of solder. I have had good luck with picking up mostly full rolls of solder at garage sales or when the shop at work has to

Please pardon the delay in getting back to this post. It has been a busy week or so. I first wanted to say thanks for the ideas. In particular, Barb, that VHF module looks very promising for the task.

I like homemade cards. I think they fit in well with the QRP/homebrew ethos. I lay them out in Photoshop, though I'm sure there are other free programs available for simple designs. Before home

Another vote for eBay seller abcfab, though I note his prices have gone up significantly since my last order with him a few years ago. I guess the prices of many things have been going up over the

I was about to say that this is another reason to adopt Manhattan construction, but Mike beat me to it. I have put in several orders with Mouser (my main trusted component source) in the last month.

Great idea! Bot those baked beans from Turkey might be a bit expensive. ;-) Newt N4EWT

For some things that I test on a receiver, I find the following to be of great use around the lab.? It uses the fact that a zener diode will generate a lot of random noise.? Let's not nit the pink

I designed my own in black & white, got my daughter to draw a simple illustration, and laser-printed them onto card-stock. QRP, homebrew QSL cards! 73 de Todd W2TEF

I'm quite aware of the market turmoil. Not saying anything more about as that's off-topic and it can't be solved here ;) Solder has gotten very expensive? ~$40-$50/lb and Manhatten uses a lot of it!.

I've been spending like crazy the last month to restock the new lab. You've seen the photos of the transistor collection, caps, resistors, etc. I'm glad I spent the pocket change. I've packages

I think OSHPark is at $5 per square inch for three boards. So 3 100x100mm boards would be $80, not including shipping. Those boards from JLCPCB would have been $5 for 5 of them. If you think the

If you need 3 PCBs, OSHPark special including USPS shipping is $10. But I don't see why they would keep this price when the competition goes away. 73, Mike AF7KR

As some of you may be aware, the president has eliminated the de-minimis tariff exemption for China and Hong Kong. Under the executive order, packages coming through the international postal network
