Subject: [Elecraft] Electronics & radio questions: Don't be shy--go =
ahead and ask!

Relatively new hams and less-experienced kit builders often have one =
thing in
common: burning questions that they may be hesitant to ask. But if there =
was
ever a place where you could ask them, this is it. The folks are pretty =
helpful
here in the Elecraft zone.=20

As the guy who does most of Elecraft's tech writing, I know that the =
manuals
leave some fundamental questions unanswered. To keep the number of pages
reasonable, we make assumptions about levels of knowledge. But this =
always
leaves someone behind. Some builders are experienced professionals who =
know just
about everything, but others may be so new to the hobby that all this =
tech-speak
and ham lingo doesn't register.

So we fully expect questions. Go ahead and ask, no matter how basic!=20

Questions about ham bands, color codes, which side of a PC board is =
which, or
how radio waves propagate are all welcome. Eric, Gary and I will often =
answer
questions ourselves, but there are so many knowledgeable people hanging =
out here
that someone typically beats us to it. If you don't get an answer the =
first
time, try using a zippier subject line and post it again.

Let's all try to be good Elmers (ham mentors). There will always be =
someone who
knows more--as well as less--than yourself.
