FW: [Elecraft] Elecraft Kit suggestion

[W3FPR - Don Wilhelm]

I would like to emphasize Ian's comments on doing an inventory, and IMHO,
the most important part is knowing where the components are when each is
needed.

Myself -- I no longer do a complete inventory because I have many spare
parts that I can use if one is missing, but most builders are not in that
fortunate position.  I do arrange all the capacitors, diodes, resistors and
other long leaded components in value order in the holes along the edges of
a corrugated cardboard tray (old Heathkit method) so each one is in a known
place where I can lay my hands on it when it is needed.  I cut the USPS
shipping box in half along the narrow sides to produce 2 parts trays, your
method may be different, but it is quite helpful to know where to find any
particular part quickly.

73,
Don W3FPR
