Hi, Wayne--
Is the list of books on the Elecraft website (or can you
post it there)? I also have a little presentation on
kit-building that I give to local clubs and would love to
include that bibliography.

Hi all,
Eric (WA6HHQ) and I will be presenting a talk on kit building at
Pacificon this Saturday from 2:30 to 4:45 PM in the Danville Room. Since
we have a generous time slot, we'll be covering several topics.
I'd also like to extend an invitation to other kit vendors or
manufacturers who may be in attendance. Bring your kits to show!
In the first hour, I'll be focusing on kits for first-time builders.
I'll have a number of kits, including some just-announced mini-modules.
To liven things up, I'll bring along a rig I designed 15 years ago --
the Safari 4 -- which is most definitely NOT a kit! There will be plenty
of time for Q & A on building techniques, test equipment, soldering,
leaded vs. surface-mount parts, etc.
In the second hour, Eric will show up with an armload of books that
we've both drawn on extensively over the years. He'll talk about where
each fits into a builder's library. After that, he'll talk about
receiver performance. He'll explain why the classic down-conversion
superhet architecture is used in nearly all of the world's most
expensive transceivers, *and* in our K2, which offers similar
capabilities to the kit builder.
Feel free to bring along something you've built -- kit or homebrew --
that may help us illustrate building techniques. There are always a
number of beginners present for this talk who could benefit from your
experience.
73,
Wayne
