Who needs an expensive soldering station for SMT? I've built a couple of
SMT projects with a standard soldering station (using a fine tip)with no
problem. If one looks for excuses, one can find them, and never do or learn
anything new! There are many cheap and easy tricks for SMT work, if one
Alan, I think you may have unwittingly hit on one explanation for Long
Delayed Echos. All those CW characters freeze on the antenna and stay
there untill a thaw, then they melt and radiate(at least some do, many
may just drip onto the ground). Then, you hear them and think, AHA,an
LDE!!.
Must be the new math - 361 - 354 = 100. Grin! Or have I managed to
miss something?

There are many fans for computers which have a thermal control for the

Take a look at batteries intended for the RC crowd. Excellent prices
and chargers available as well. LiIon and LiFePo4 available in many cell

Unfortunately, those are NOT AA size cells. 18650 cells are much larger.

No, no, no!! The modern, HI-Tech way to do it is to build up a
circuit to charge at least a 10 F supercap and discharge it through the
fuse, thereby clearing the short. The supercap is guaranteed to
un-short almost any fuse you are likely to find, and could also be handy
