Mea culpa. However, I did propose the option of choosing flat rate boxes in lieu of the envelopes, and no one replied with such a request. This was actually Bob Camp's idea, and he was the only one who specifically asked for this packing method. It costs substantially more, but apparently is

These turned out to be made by Fairchild. If you expressed a desire to purchase one or more of these chips, I'll be contacting you soon with total cost. If you have a preference for packaging, please send me a note. Some evidently prefer the small flat rate box, although I'd planned to ship

God willing and the creek don't rise, I should receive 50 of them within a few days, so if you're a Stateside Timenut, this might be helpful to you. If interested, please contact me off list with your zip code, and I'll provide a cost estimate. Final confirmation after I've actually got them

I'm crossing my fingers that my order doesn't get revised by an unscrupulous or overly-optimistic vendor, but assuming it gets filled, as of 20:56PDT I have requests for all of the 50 chips I'm hoping to be able to provide. If you requested one or two, I put you down for two. Hopefully

Re: [time-nuts] Choke Ring Design for L1

Does someone know which commercial antennas are 3D designs? Sounds like the $200 AeroAntenna version mentioned previously might be a 3d design, although it's a little tough to guess by simply looking at the enclosure and a single drawing. An evaluation of some 3D antennas:

I believe he's referring to the Fairchild A-10A bubble sextant, originally produced in the 1940s. I used a periscopic sextant in the KC-135, an improvement over the hand-held, or dome-mounted bubble sextant, but I never used any sextant in the Fairchild Republic A-10A Warthog I subsequently

Bruce, Thanks for the ideas. The HSMS-2822 looks like it could serve in the detector role, while a pair of HSMP-3822's might work for clamping--low capacitance, matched pair in series, and in stock at Mouser. The 3822 is actually a pair of PIN switch diodes, but couldn't it function as a clamper?

[time-nuts] Adding prescaler to HP 5334B

Having seen it discussed, I was wondering whether anyone has actually added the Schottky diodes and prescaler chip to a 5334B to provide a C-channel input. The matched Schottky quads (5082-2831) are no longer available, and even the recommended replacements (5082-2303) seem scarce. Was thinking
