It was great to get a comment from Paul VK3HN -- this led to a re-establishment of contact. Apparently Google knows who I have been e-mailing, so this great video appeared on my YouTube screen. Thanks Google!
-- Great to hear Paul's shout out to Pete Juliano N6QW, and Pete's concept of noodling.
-- Paul's emphasis on testing each stage independently is really important.
-- Wow, ferric chloride! It is great to see someone doing this (instead of just sending Gerber files to China).
-- Books. This reminds me that I have to get Drew Diamond's books.
-- Paul's comment on the usefulness of a general coverage receiver. Right on target Paul.
-- On the test gear, we can now add the TinySA Ultra. And you don't have to win the Lotto!
-- Finally, Paul is absolutely right on the need to constantly update and publish changes to schematics. I am guilty of not doing this. (I hang my head in shame.) This became a problem in our simple High-School receiver project -- I would make changes to circuits and fail to communicate these changes to Dean KK4DAS. Paul's method would have solved this problem.
-- Thanks Paul!
