Greetings,

I've just about finished assembling my PA100 for my K2.  I ran into a minor
hiccup when it appeared that I was missing about 6 caps.  There were no
.033's or .015 caps as described in the assembly instructions.  However I
did have 6 blue items that were left over and they had markings that led me
to believe they were the missing parts.  They just didn't have 332 or 152 as
was expected.  They are not the normal disk ceramic or monolythiic type.
They must have been substituted at the last minute.  Since I was missing 4
.015's and had 4 blue somethings that had 15nwritten on them and I was
missing 2 .033 and I had two blue somethings with 33n
written on them and the leads fiit I assumed those were the correct parts.
If I'm wrong, somebody please correct me.

I'd be on the air with it now if I hadn't had my Wheaties this morning.  In
winding the torroids I was over zealus in pulling the wire tight and I
shattered one of the black cores.  So now I have to wait for a replacement.
I guess I just don't know my own strength.

73's to all.
