Hi Chuck;
Know JUST what you mean. I'm buried in the stuff. The other side of the
coin, however, is:
I've tried from time to time to *give* stuff away. Can't be done.
I still have sets of the coils for the "Tuna-Tin2" 40m. transmitter
that Doug got permission from ARRL/QST to reprint in QRPp.(BTW- you
seem to have cornered the market on the "finals" for this neat rig :-).
I did give a few sets away with a few responses like:
1. "What's an S.A.S.E?"
2. " You bettcha! Hold a set for me!"....E-mail 2 weeks later sez"Well..
Really just don't have time....Sorry."
Not pointing my finger....perish the thought.... One fella asked for
parts for a HW-100. He sent me $3.00 for postage *months* ago. Found
it behind a very heavy tool box yesterday with the shipping label,
ready to go. Thought I sent it out. Old Timers Disease.
Found a couple of regen receiver boards that look like fun. Gonna
offer these for sale somewhere around the end of the month.
Collected up a bunch of gas-discharge static suppressors at the last
swap-meet. Never did explain these darn things well. Gary Coffman
posted a great article on the Ham-Homebrew list. Gonna try to drop him a
line and ask for permission to relay the info on. I remember the-"Did
I mention about the static here?" posts you guys sent(along with the
"winds" message :-).
Got boards I promised to send out. Ooops. Not drilled. Got drill bits
and Dremel. Now can't find boards.
Found 20 surplus 6.8 uH mini-chokes. Lost 'em in 5 minutes.
Found several 100uA meters.New. Anybody need a nice 4 1/2" meter?
Did'nt think so.
Gotta get a life.
72, John- N5INZ
