So, the Q2 component has writing on one side but is flat on both sides. It’s not shaped like a Capital D. I installed it with the side with the writing on the flat side of the D. Like in the silk scre

Sorry for this seemingly elementary question. But, as this component isn’t shaped exactly as others, I want to make sure I’ve installed it correctly. There is writing on one side of the component and

OK. If it goes to monthly, I hope its not always the 3rd Saturday. Thanks Johnny

Well, I will have to miss the first one. Our HAM club meets the third Saturday morning at 0900. With COVID-19, we are meeting on the Emporia repeater. 146.985. Next time. Every Saturday on this N-75 g

I’m in for that
