Even AFTER the mistake was pointed out to them -- they published a comment noting this error in November 1985. Yet this QRP Classics article repeating the myth was from the 1990 ARRL Handbook! You wonder how much other bogus info they have put out over the years. 73 Bill Bill Mearahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07662500663603350847noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7590176649168185428.post-34376183301265800162021-11-18T06:47:42.057-05:002021-11-18T06:47:42.057-05:00Bill -

On the bottom of the 1st column, page 25 it repeats the 80/20 9 MHz IF plus 5-5.5 MHz VFO myth. <br /><br />Best Regards,<br /><br />Chuck, WB9KZY<br />WB9KZYhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13790482071874836665noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7590176649168185428.post-52765407147097212122021-11-18T04:33:28.122-05:002021-11-18T04:33:28.122-05:00Pete's CNC produced boards are the "Rolls...Pete's CNC produced boards are the "Rolls Royce" way of doing it. <br />If you don't mind the "Model T Ford" way, you can copy Pete's layouts with a Dremel....<br /><br />http://www.fishpool.org.uk/dremel.htm<br /> Tonyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02080646762363740162noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7590176649168185428.post-72033122385399223272021-11-17T17:29:59.393-05:002021-11-17T17:29:59.393-05:00In the podcast, Pete mentions the price of CNC mac...In the podcast, Pete mentions the price of CNC machines coming down. Depending on where you live, there may be a maker space available to get your boards CNC for cheap or even free. I haven't checked it out in person yet, but my county library system has a maker space that has several machines available. In my case, the Allen County Public Library (Indiana) has two locations that have maker spaces available for people to use CNC mills, 3D printers, sewing machines and vinyl cutters. I assume that there are other municipalities that have similar maker spaces available to the residents of the area. Just a thought for persons that can't afford even a modest CNC mill.<br /><br />73's Dean AC9JQ Dean Hutsellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11260552243644677915noreply@blogger.com
