- Gang,
- Well, finally got time to send this in. I was in San Jose a couple weeks
- ago and got the chance to meet, and have dinner with, Dave (NN1G) and Jeff
- (WA6AHL). The invite came via the QRP Mailing list from Jeff. We went
- to one of those microbrewerys for dinner. Especially enjoyed the waiters
- description (when asked by Dave) of the taste of the various types of beer
- available... "beery" ;-) ... Anyway, I had a great time talking about
- radios and all with them and appreciate the invite from Jeff. 73s all!

- > Do the PHASING DOTS on a schematic have any significance to me as a builder?
-
- Yes. While once in a while the phasing dots are overspecified, it's
- a good idea to always follow them if you see them. Otherwise, you
- might end up cancelling out the signal you're trying to get.

-
- Hmm... That means something went wrong with the winding. Are you using
- the right wire gauge? Are you _sure_ it's the right size of core? Are you
- using real magnet wire? (Normal plastic-insulated wire is not the same.
- Magnet wire is insulated with a thin coat of enamel.)
