>72 de David W7AQK
I forgot to thank everyone for help in winding torroids for my 38s...
At the AZ (Phoenix) scQRPion meeting, help started with Joe (AB7TT) who
pointed me to Brian #1 (W5VBO). David (W7AQK) came from Tuscon and took
over under careful watch of Dan (N7VE). Others lended moral support...
The result was one torroid (L4) wound and many helpful suggestions, but
as Dan suggested, when I got ready to solder, it was wound backward.
I rewound it and made sure to start by putting the wire in from the back.
It was especially helpful to hear the instruction about removing the
enamel insulation and tinning the leads (David) since he pointed out
that poor lead connections cause frequent problems among kit builders...
I checked each torroid soldered to the board with an ohm meter.
It is doubtful that it would have all worked first time without all of
this excellent help. Measure twice, cut once...
Now just picture everyone at Luby's Cafeteria winding a coil!

An opportunity to "rescue" a NorCal Sierra kit (not Wilderness) from an
unbuilt kit collector has come my way. Includes 80, 40, 20, 15 modules
and two extra (blank) modules. What do you think?

Doubtful I'll be at the upcoming hamfest as I have not been to one in a
couple years. I want to participate in the BARTG (U.K.) RTTY contest.
