I Love Toroids!

I know most of you don't feel this way, but I have finished installing
the large toroids for the KAT100 and the board is so pretty I want to hang it on a wall as a picture. Well, not as nice as the pin-up calendar on the wall, ..... but almost.

Steve,
Didn't your Mom warn you about sniffing solder fumes?? IMHO -- it does make a pretty looking piece of gear :-)) Dave KK7SS > I know most of you don't feel this way, but I have finished > installing the large toroids for the KAT100 and the board is > so pretty I want to hang it on a wall as a picture. > > Well, not as nice as the pin-up calendar on the wall, ..... > but almost. _______________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Post to: [hidden email] You must be a subscriber to post to the list.

I to love Toroids and how they look after they are done. I was scared to do them in the beginning, but now from time to time I get "Toroiditis." I would love to wind a toroid or two. To do that, I would have to sell the K2/100/KAT100 and start all over and that doesn't quite work out in today's schedule. I love Toroids Too.

Years ago the Apple Computer company had the framed prototype of the
Apple 1 on their wall like a picture. With a note under it saying OUR FOUNDER. Been some time, not sure if its still there.

It's not on the wall, definitely too big for that. Last time I saw
it, about 1997, it was on display in the inner lobby of Infinite Loop 4, along with some other interesting memorabilia. The board was mounted to a large piece of wood, with an acrylic case protecting it from dust. You had to badge in to get to the exhibits, meaning you either had to be an employee or friends with one who would let you in... IL4 is the same building that houses Apple's library, which actually has a nice section of ham radio books. Sigh, the good old days...

It wasn't all THAT many years ago beauty was in beholding a beautifully hand-crafted large solenoidal air-wound coil! To me, they are still things of beauty. (And toroids are okay too.

Here's a poem I wrote to inspire kit builders on this topic. I first
posted it six years ago, when we had just started shipping the K2: that donut shape you're wielding is a wondrous thing to wind and also is self-shielding thus yielding peace of mind Builders kept asking whether they should measure the inductance of toroids or just go with our specified number of turns, so I added a stanza: our mysterious reluctance to measure each inductance reflects not low virility: just unknown permeability 73, Wayne N6KR --- http://www.elecraft.com _______________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Post to: [hidden email] You must be a subscriber to post to the list.

Wayne, you must post this to the Elecraft site for all to enjoy. Six
years is too long to see it again. It should go on the "Builder's Resource Page". Steve, W2MY wayne burdick wrote: > Here's a poem I wrote to inspire kit builders on this topic.

Amplified iPod speaker for KX1

In reply to this post by wayne burdick
I bought a MacNally PodWave iPod stereo speaker at Fry's for $29 today.
It fits in the KX1 and doesn't touch the BNC connextor. The sound is not as loud as the $13 Radio Shack mono amplified speaker, ehich can overdrive the speaker. The main feature is that it is a lot smaller. It fits in my waist pack, which the RS speaker didn't. It uses a single AA. I wouldn't recommend it for home use, but it is good for portable use, when you don't want to share your ear buds, hi hi. For the car, I use one of those FM transmitters that works with the car radio.
