Hi all,

If its magnetic, will the washer remain on the screw whilst
on the head of the screwdriver?  If so can do job in one go
- hopefully.

Regards  73   Alan

Dave said:
"You probably would be wise to use a screwdriver that is
magnetic so that you can move the screw down over the hole
and begin to screw it in.  The required washer can be
places over the hole by just sliding them into position
using the small slots on the side where the screwholes are
located.  But those slots  aren't big enough to do the same
with the screw itself.  But using a magnetic tipped
screwdriver also can cause a small problem as you approach
the screwhole where you have already placed the washer.
The washer wants to move due to the magnetic attraction.
So you have to "aim and shoot" somewhat deftly.  But it
works.  Somebody else probably has a much simpler
solution to this."

"My favorite brand for high quality is Wiha
www.WihaTools.com which are made in Germany."

I'll second this, these are great tools, not only
screw drivers but hex head drivers as well. Some of
the more common big supply houses carry them in the
US.

Can do the job easily in one go using a 'Grabber' held in one hand, about as

difficult as holding a pen and WITHOUT the risk of losing a washer, screw or

whatever. The tool was also stocked by RS (Radio Spares) at one time, their
stock number 537-293 and described as a Retrieving Tool. After starting to
thread the screw (with washer) using the Grabber, the job is completed with
a screwdriver. The tool can also be used to hold a screw and washer in place

while the mating nut is threaded onto the screw with a nutdriver ( assuming
Clinch Nuts are not being used) to illustrate just one of the many other
jobs that can be handled.

Standard disclaimers apply, a satisfied user long converted from magnetic
methods!

The first time I tried this I kind of thought it wasn't all that useful.
But, as you said, with certain signals it can make copy easier. I also
combine it sometimes with dual passband filtering which also helps. I've had
the K3 for a week now and I am still finding little surprises here and
there. I haven't seen a radio so cleverly thought out since the K2. What a
great radio!

After weeks of rain and wind the sun finally appeared in the mountains of
Snowdonia today - and so did K3 000145, courtesy of UPS Express...!

Original order placed on May 2nd, emailed invoice (47492) received from
Aptos on December 3rd, UPS Shipping Notification received December 6th and
the box delivered on the scheduled date (today).

UPS Express without a hitch. No import duty demands (didn't expect any..)
just a request for a cheque for 210 ukp for VAT and 'brokerage charges'
which took about 3 minutes; like a visit to the dentist you want this sort
of thing over and done with as quickly and efficiently as possible.

Now to finish unpacking though it may be interrupted when I sneak off to
take advantage of the superb afternoon conditions on 20m to the
mountain/desert states of the western US we've been having the last week or
so. Can't let the arrival of a K3 kit interfere with ham radio now can
we...?

73 with an extra smile,

Stewart Rolfe, GW0ETF

Hi,

Am I the only guy in user land, who is using a combination of Intel

like
to know what experience others have made with Boot Camp and/or virtual

Very interesting page.

I'd been aware of Reid and Prince for over 50 years, but hadn't heard
anyone mention them in quite a long time.

One curious thing is that they use the term "Square Recess" instead
of "Robertson."
I'd always heard them called Robertson.
I believe it was McFeely's in Lynchburg, Virginia that was
instrumental in reviving interest in the Robertson bit.

 For the few hours that I was on throughout the weekend, I managed 10 CW
and 2 SSB QSOs (and Scott was one of my CW QSOs) in MA, NH and RI, all
within about 50 miles of my QTH . But in the 2 years that I've had my
K2/100, these are my first QSOs on 10m, so I'm quite satisfied.

I've been playing in the contest on-and-off.
QRP is always tough but it looks like this is going to be a "worked all
MA" effort. {grin} So, I'm not sure you're having worse luck than the
rest of us.

The good news is that I had done a little work on my K2 (QRP version--no
100w option) and wanted to know if it was behaving well. My friend in NH
just over the border) worked me and said the radio "sounded like music".
I know that's music to my ears!

Conditions aren't the greatest. I've put about 20 in the log with MA,
NH, and ME as mults.
I've got just a dipole hidden in some adjacent woods. Perhaps those with
aluminum farms are having better luck?

I must say, as I sit here I'm thinking of building another K2. This
really is a sweet little radio!
