Mike - if you're an ARRL member there are lots of articles in past QST magazines that may get you started.
One series by Doug DeMaw W1FB (SK) might be a good place to start. It was a four-part series titled "Basic Equipment Servicing" that ran in QST from December 1981 thru March 1982. You can download them from the Archives section of the ARRL web site. Good Luck! 73 - Dino KL0S On Feb012011, at 0918 AM, Richard Tucker wrote: > Michael, > The best thing to do is get started.
