[Elecraft] AADE LC meter for ham radio

[Stephanie Maks]

I 've also got an AADE LC meter (our club's Project Day from last  
spring, a dozen of us built them) and I can also vouch for it.  It's  
a fine meter, was fairly easy to build, and is very easy to use.  I  
used it quite a bit while building my K1 and K2, to verify the values  
of some of the hard-to-read caps, and verify the values of the  
toroids I was winding.

No relation or interest in AADE, just a satisfied customer.
