I have the questions, no shortage of that. From JB: "Currently, I am getting up to speed on Atmel microprocessors, including how they are programmed from the...
I prefer LTSpice simply for the easy interface. I like the GUI with as few "directive" lines needed as possible. Some people seriously pursue Spice and do some...
All, Anyone have a source for Soft Iron Wire about 3/16in/dia? I built up the oscillator circuit shown on the Techlib.com site under Circuits, Ray's wide band...
I have some caps - marked .032 100v on bag - they are shiny oblong chiclets of brown color - wires come out parallel to the long sides... Any ideas? Is there...
Hi I believe you can also use Ohm's law to figure it out...If an led drops say 3 volt and needs 20 ma to light, then it has an effective resistance of 3/.020 =...
softness a pretty good determiner of iron vs. steel. Iron has a very high mp (3000 ?), and the temptation of smelters is to convert it into steel asap for that...
Soft iron wire should be less than 0.01 percent carbon, but for most electrical/electronic/magnetic purposes you can use mild steel that has been heated to...
Thanks, I don't think the time in the shop has been wasted! I've learned a new term to throw around at heavy metal parties... "reverbatory furnace" ;-)...
All, I posted the same message on the ULF Group does anyone here have any thoughts on this subject. I need some help understanding E-Field probe (antenna)...
Hi Joe: When talking about antennas it's important to look at the size of the antenna in relation to the wavelength of the signal. Ham antennas are typically...
Brooke: The AMRAD links in your page are dead, but the antenna details can be found at http://www.arrl.org/files/file/Technology/tis/info/pdf/0109031.pdf ...
Hi Steve: Thanks, I've added a link to the QST article. Have Fun, Brooke Clarke http://www.PRC68.com http://www.end2partygovernment.com/Clarke4Congress.html...
The E-field antenna just measures the electric field, like a non-contacting voltmeter. The trick is to stick some metal where the field is the one you want,...
Charles, Thank you for you explanation it provides valuable in-sight on improvements. While mechanical issues could be the problem because the dipole has three...
Hi folks, Thanks for the help but I'm a little lost. If I may ask for a wee more help. I've been testing the circuit with just one red led and this led stays...
I would expect the 10 mH choke to have an orange band. Typically there's a fat silver band followed by brown, black, orange, and maybe a tolerance band of...
I'll take a first "stab" at your question, although others on this board have far greater experience with this circuit, and electronics in general. On your...
Thanks for the quick replies! After reading your posts I searched again and found a different site telling me that it is a 10uh and not mH. Earlier search...
I just bought a cheap Chinese digital manometer for use in the lab. It measures differential pressure in the 0 to 55 inch/water range. Also has units of psi,...
I'll second the idea. Although I seem to have no time for any hobbies these days, I am a bit of an amateur gunsmith also. If you browse Cheaper Than Dirt...
I'm doing some housekeeping, so there might be some broken links here and there - let me know. I'm also "re-purposing" Area 50 into something more worthy of my...
Thanks, I'm sure generating and maintaining this site is a lot of work. I, for one, really appreciate access to all this information (and humor!). I'm sure...
