Pig Rig

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 WAØITP 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.

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

The enthusiasm for this rig is fantastic! I haven't been rock-bound for a long, long time but it really brings back some great memories (and some really frustrating ones!). I just ordered the kit which looks like a great deal and hope to catch a lot of you on the air.

days. Man, that was loong time ago. If you use the Ten Tec TP-19 enclosure, I'll be happy to send you a label with your call and build date on it. A picture of mine in the TPC-19 is here, http://www.wa0itp.com/index.html I do like the charcoal color. The TP-19 dimensions on the Ten Tec web site differ from the one I purchased. Mine is 2" x 4.75" x 4" and the PigRig fits perfectly. http://www.wa0itp.com/pigrig3b.jpg Changing freqs,say to go to 7122 for Wayne's nets, will require 4 xtals. Three for the rcvr front end filter, and 1 for the local oscillator. Diz has crystals as well as ESS. oo ---------------------------------- I love this radio stuff ! 72 WA�ITP www.wa0itp.com www.4sqrp.com www.qrpspots.com
