Hey Bill:
I ...No Luddite Curmudgeons Allowed Here!<br /><br />Hey Bill:<br />I just finished a Softrock V8.3 receiver. You inspired me to get off my ..., but now you are sounding like a non-starter. My advice is to simplify the task. It is not necessary to use a toaster oven, frying pan or heat gun. You can do it perfectly well with fine solder, a good soldering iron and a magnifying glass. Solder paste might well make life easier, although I didn't have any. The latest winter 2010 issue of QRP Quarterly has a suggestion from W2SH, Charles, to use blue masking tape cut into narrow strips to help hold down the parts. I could have used that suggestion - or a third hand - when I built mine. Anyway - just do it. It isn't that hard.<br />Paul AA6BAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14620446251941421239noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7590176649168185428.post-67238793699004530952010-02-06T12:58:39.420-05:002010-02-06T12:58:39.420-05:00I still suggest you annotate your bibliography and...I still suggest you annotate your bibliography and quotes for the SolderSmoke book.
