Terry,

Thanks for the label! When I mentioned using a 14-pin IC socket cut in half, I should really have said "cut into quarters", meaning cutting across through pins #4 & #11, and being cut lengthwise right through the middle (and trimmed as needed to yield 4 socket sets of 3 pins each).

Printing it on colored paper makes it look much better than on white. I like yellow (no surprise there :o) but some builders have used other colors. Light gray and light blue both look very nice too. ---------------------------------- I love this radio stuff ! 72 WAĆITP www.wa0itp.com www.4sqrp.com www.qrpspots.com ----- Original Message ----- From: "k8cqa" <demuthent@roadrunner.com> To: "WA0ITP" <wa0itp@mchsi.com>; <4sqrp@yahoogroups.com> Sent: Saturday, March 09, 2013 11:52 PM Subject: [4sqrp] Re: Pig Rig Terry, This little pig went to OzarkCon, This little pig stayed home; This little pig ate roast beef, This little pig had none. And THIS little pig went whee, whee, all the way home, was fed a proper diet of juice (the 12VDC kind), and her voice was heard throughout the land ... Suckling pig #178 exited the mailbox in Gnadenhutten OH on Friday March 08 2013 and the appropriate slap on the backside (with a soldering pencil, of course!) will commence in the very near future. I would appreciate a label if possible; March 2013 would be fine. Thanks also for all the crystal socket ideas. A 14-pin machined pin IC socket could be cut in half at the center pins, yielding four 3-pin sockets ... just right for one rig if the center pin of the 3-pin socket is used for ground as per some of the ideas and pics at <http://www.w5usj.com/images/bandchangemods.pdf> and <http://www.w5usj.com/images/crystalgrounding.pdf> ... Now back to tending the suckling pig ... 72 de John - K8CQA
