I bought a "gazillion" 10 megohm 1/4 watt resistors on sale once. They make wonderful "standoff insulators" soldered to a bit of copper PC board to support circuit elements. I find that it's very easy to "breadboard" a circuit that way.

I would like to "second:" Don's comments about HB. Believe me, when I say I come from the "old school" WRT HB, but just trying a single "Manhatten [sic] construction" using chads punched from .065" circuit board with a "nibbler" and mounted with superglue on a ground plane was more than enough to convince me that it is really worthwhile GIVING UP the old methods using tie points/strips, hole punches on a chassis, etc. John Ragle -- W1ZI ______________________________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:[email protected] This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html
