Seen some smoke today.

Built a audio amp to use with my Ft Tuthill80 rig. I had a number of the PCBs and had built several of them for other rigs. I forgot the 12VDC input on the board was marked wrong! 10 ohm resistor smoked. Replaced resistor and reversed leads and all is well. Know I remember what that smoke smells like. I prefer solder/flux fumes. Don't want to be addicted to smoke from fried parts! 72 Geo/w2BPI

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

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 the smoke that goes into the resistor ??? Do they put smoke/smell into a resistor the same way the cream is put inside the Twinkies ???? Who decided which smell goes with transformers, which smell for resistors & which smell for transistors ???

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 there with transformer output shorted (overloaded anyway). Eventually it began to um... smell *funny*. Our mother did *NOT* enjoy it at all - after all she wasn't blind (evil grin). Even though the transformer was not completely destroyed it smelled so bad it was not allowed in the house any more. That was the end of the electric train set. 73, Bill KU8H
