I've built rigs on flattened soup cans. If you're brave enough (or dumb enough) to go at a can with tin snips and gloves (and eye protection!), tin plate is very easy to solder to and build on.

I'm a big fan of Tayda. I've been buying from them for several years, and they are my primary source for resistors and capacitors. Their prices are very good, their shipping is very reasonable, and

To me it is a service to the amateur radio and experimental builder community to provide small quantities of quality parts at reasonable prices and shipping.? I don't believe they make any profit

To your point: My most recent Mouser order, packages arranged on ground to illustrate. My order came from three or four warehouses and provided enough reusable packing material for a few months of

My needs are simple Daniel, so I got a Hantek DSO5202P dual channel 200MHz 'scope. Comes with 2 probes, and all for just $299. I was happy with it, except for one thing. When using the Autoset

Thanks for doing that Chuck, and it's good to know that we don't have to worry too much about mounting our toroids close to the board. A couple of years ago, I built a rather nifty kit for a high

Hey Doug, Let us know how the AliExpress trimmers perform. I ordered them also. Thanks ! Jim WB4ILP [email protected]> wrote:

They look the same to me. I think I'm going to do what we did in qrp-tech for the anniversary build of the NorCal 40A.? Instead of spending a lot of dough on the variable cap, a lot of us just

Thank you for doing this.? In the same spirit, I ordered these yesterday https://www.aliexpress.us/item/2251832677302970.html I fully expect them to be junk but at $1.43 for 10 I threw them on an

They are not on my list of approved critters in my lab.? Got to Tayda and get Murata trimmers for around $0.18 to $0.32 for the few values they have in stock. Guess I was thinking that since I used

Got the envelope with the selection of Honbay trimmers from Amazon.? They arrived next day as advertised. They are cheap and I do mean cheap with respect to quality control and any value they may

Dave, Your timing is scary.? I just did the BPF for the SolderSmoke DC receiver. I am hoping that my camera hasn't died on me.? I did the experiment and I'll video it for release today.? Or

I'm surprised Azon hasn't dropped me as a customer, because I constantly give them feedback about their ridiculously poor packaging. Ironically, when we order indestructible stuff like bags of bath

Amazon.com has gotten worse in what they do.? It is not just me.? My wife and others I know have noticed this too. And how they handle payments as well is different than how other online retailers

+1! Tayda orders are indeed very well packed. By contrast, I recently took delivery of an oscilloscope from Amazon. It arrived in a large box, together with a 14 pound box of cat litter, a few other

Somehow, the previous message was sent to the group before I was able to attach the photos. Before and after photos shown here, illustrating how small differences in layout can make a significant

I powered the board up outside, away from all the stray RF in the shack. Unfortunately, that wasn't the issue, though it was good to eliminate it from the list of possibilities. I will bear it in mind
