Your message reminds me of an important point. Set aside a certain
amount of time to work on the rig. For most people, more than 2 or 3
hours, and it is easy to get frustrated or make a mistake. This is an
important piece. If you are getting tired or frustrated, pack your
stuff up and walk away.
In the craft section of the department store, I picked up containers,
with lids, that had a bunch of little compartments. I sorted my caps
(lots of caps) into one of this, and resistors and other hardware into
another. All of the ESD sensitive items (chips, diodes and such)
stayed in their ESD bags. This allowed me to 'close up shop' so to speak.
You can start this sorting and setup now. Even reading through the
manual. All these little items pay big dividends latter on. 73 es
look forward to catching you a little further down the log.
