[Elecraft] The K3 and "homebrew": view from the E-lab

[Brett gazdzinski]

There is actually a step below 1 on the scale.
Remember way back, like when the ARRL started, everyone
made their own parts!
Caps, coils, batteries, resistors were all home made
in many cases.
I do my own coils and was thinking about ways I might
make some big air variable caps for a big antenna tuner, 
but draw the line at blowing glass for tubes and making
resistors out of carbon....
