Re: [Elecraft] Free shipping

Free shipping is an interesting idea. First of all, I don’t have a boat in this race, I don’t have one on order and I don’t see a K4 in my future. I see my Elecraft future as being portable, temporary setups when time (magically) appears in my future…. I _assumed_ that would happen when I

While we are on the topic of being nice to our electronics, a dimension that many folks don’t think about down here in the “south” (of the northern hemisphere, specially when it’s > 90F outside) is powering-on “cold soaked” electronics: if the physical hardware is cold enough (-20C / 0F) will

I think might (in some way) OT except that folks here build kits….. No knocks on ebay - like everywhere else, if you are careful, you can get what you pay for. I’ve found great things there for very little money on ebay. For comparison, a range of bench mats from Newark:

Re: [Elecraft] Radio storage cases

The true military (metal) ammo cans are (supposed to) have a rubber gasket between the top and the body. (Just checked one, it does.) Perhaps that would allow some EM leakage? It would not be hard to scrape a bit of paint off and solder or silver solder a ground strap (or foil) bridge between
