Hey, check out the Altoids heat sink for the PA in my little 30 meter MEPT rig. Is this a new use for our beloved Altoids tins? I like the smoke-stack look.
This rig has evolved quite a bit. It started out as a frequency standard for QRSS and was mounted inside a paperback copy of Dan Brown’s book. Then I matched the oscillator up with the multi-vibrator pattern generator from one of Hans Summers’ rigs. This week I decided that I really needed a buffer and a PA — I needed a bit more stability. I’ll try to post a schematic tomorrow. In the meantime, watch for my little signal on the ON5EX grabber (off to the right). The pattern is small (3 Hz) bumps, about 4-5 per minute.
Looks like a smoke stack! Make it smoke with some oil, dry ice 😉
Billy suggested putting some incense in there, but I said that it just wouldn’t be right. Unless, of course, it smells like solder and rosin….
This should do 😉 http://www.mgchemicals.com/products/835.html
There is an incense that smells like soldersmoke – it’s called Copal. It’s a type of resin that is halfway to being amber. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Copal
….Have you been in the Netherlands lately? Look’s like one of those smoking ,illegal (or legal) stuff, devices! 🙂 73
