I downloaded soldersmoke (last 5 issuses) and enjoyed them so much, I found my spare MP3 player and also gave them to a friend. It also inspired me to get busy and put a 50 mW beacon on 10.140 Mhz. Schematics found and crystal and keyer ordered. Soon, New Mexico will be on the beacon scene. An idea for a bumper sticker might be <BR/>ASK ME ABOUT SOLDERSMOKE. Not sure but might fit. Anyway have a great day melting Solder. <BR/>73 Dave WA5DJJAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7590176649168185428.post-84555239962560360882009-02-04T23:56:00.000-05:002009-02-04T23:56:00.000-05:00Bill, I'd like to give you my congratulations on y...Bill, I'd like to give you my congratulations on your centennial episode of Soldersmoke. I have downloaded all 100 episodes, and while I got back into ham radio after a long hiatus because of the 50th anniversary of Sputnik, I think I can lay my current interest in homebrewing electronics at your feet. When I see a new episode of Soldersmoke, it actually makes my commute in San Francisco traffic enjoyable.<BR/><BR/>(Oh, and <A HREF="http://brainwagon.org" REL="nofollow">thanks for giving my brainwagon blog a plug!</A>)Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07849277987286808945noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7590176649168185428.post-75779842342964002072009-02-04T10:05:00.000-05:002009-02-04T10:05:00.000-05:00Happy to help.
