Not too long ago Diz was down to 15 kits left . Doesanyone know if he sold out this run ? 171 is ready to put the crystal sockets in , but I amgoing to wait until I can check both sets at the same

Just finished a QSO with KY0O on 7.0307 in Kansas City - he on his HW9. I sent him to the Pig Rig site, he was not familiar with it. Putting out between 3 and 4 watts he gave me a 599. Thanks to

From what I could find out, it is called Kight kit not Knight kit and it's a Chinese made QRP CW/SSB transceiver that puts out 4.5 watts. Apparently this website is that of a fellow who is retired

Hi Guys, Just found this neat little AM pocket radio circuit by searching <transistor radio circuits 1960>. It's a 1960 Pop Com article. It uses one transistor for both the RF regen amp and relex

Once upon a time a younger brother received an electric train set for Christmas. After playing with it for several *hours* the train jumped the track (yet again). Little brother got up and left it

They make component smoke smell bad on purpose so you'll be sure to not make that mistake again. -- Tom Sevart N2UHC St. Paul, KS

Since they add smell to natural gas so we'll know when there's a gas leak, I assume there's a guy in a back room somewhere at the resistor factory who's job it is to add the smell to

As someone who is afflicted with colorblindness, I always have to check resistors with a multimeter. Especially on resistors with tan bodies. -- Tom Sevart N2UHC St. Paul, KS

The smoke smells that way so blind hams can enjoy it too. 73, Bill KU8H

The smoke you don't want to see is the magic smoke escaping from components in your circuit. Things never work quite the same following that. Joe, N6DGY

Thats OK as I still check them as those 1/8th watters are a little small and when in doubt I always check them. I made a jig a few years ago for just that. Just cris crossed 2 razor blades on each

Interesting post. I enjoy music as well, and play guitar. I also have built several vacuum tube guitar amps. (Is there any other kind?) Makes for a nice merger of hobbies. Joe, N6DGY

I ordered two myself a few days ago. They arrived yesterday. Nice looking enclosures. My piggie #143 will will have a pen when I finish building. :-) Now I'll have to trouble Terry for a nice

 Hello Bill, Just read your post a-la PigRig ResistorValues........and noted that you like music and electronics. This is not asurprise and I suspect is quite common. I have often heard it said
