I've used quite a few of the FAR PC boards way back when.   Great tent to
visit at Hara Arena too.

[BVARC] Kit building resource for all

2024-01-23 Thread Chris Medlin via BVARC
All,

Since we have a lot of new hams in the area... and there may be some old timers 
who have never heard of the site either... FAR Circuits.

https://farcircuits.net

FAR Circuits sells very affordable kits with etched boards and all the parts 
for many many projects. They pull them from ham radio magazine articles.. so if 
you have ever read an article on a project build and have ever considered 
building it, this is a great source for the parts and schematics all in one 
place.

Download the catalog, or just use the "find" feature within your browser to 
look for keywords of things you are interested in building.

They have been in business for 35 years.. I used to visit them at their tent at 
Dayton back in the day.

Here is an excerpt from their website:
FAR Circuits is exclusively a manufacturer of Printed Circuit Boards for 
electronic projects that are used by the Amateur Radio and electronic hobby 
enthusiast. We supply boards in any quantity, but are geared toward low volume 
and individual circuit board users. We have been in business for over 35 years, 
and have boards in stock for most of the Ham projects published in QST, QEX, 
ARRL Handbook, the old Ham Radio, 73's, Amateur Radio Today, CQ, WIFB Designer 
Notebooks, Popular Electronics, QRPp, QRP Notebook, Communications Quarterly, 
Electronics Now, and others. FAR Circuits can supply board(s) for projects 
published in other magazines if the artwork is published in the article. The 
Printed Circuit Boards supplied are generally on G10 material, drilled and 
solder coated, and ready to be assembled. We maintain a small inventory of 
Integrated Circuits for some projects - please check the individual project 
listing for availability.

Enjoy and happy building!
