Quarantine Rig: VK3YE Resurrects an Old BITX Project
I think we should start calling these "Quarantine Rigs." Many of us are pulling off the shelves rigs that we started a while back but then put aside. Now, with the pandemic, we have the time (and the need!) to work on them.
I like Peter's BITX receiver video, especially the part in the beginning where he wipes the grime and oxidation off the long-neglected copper-clad board.
Follow Peter's lead: Pull those old projects off the shelf. Get them going. Now is the time. SITS! Melt solder and flatten the curve.
Thanks Peter.

I wish I could. I already worked from home before this began. Nothing has changed for me. I have less time than ever, it seems!
ReplyDeleteIf you clean the board real well, spraying it with clear Krylon keeps boards looking new. I never had problems soldering after I sprayed a blank board with Krylon.
