[Elecraft] Heathkit Returns!

[Ron D'Eau Claire]

I bought a "gazillion" 10 megohm 1/4 watt resistors on sale once. They make
wonderful "standoff insulators" soldered to a bit of copper PC board to
support circuit elements. I find that it's very easy to "breadboard" a
circuit that way.

I would like to "second:" Don's comments about HB. Believe me, when I 
say I come from the "old school" WRT HB, but just trying a single 
"Manhatten [sic] construction" using chads punched from .065" circuit 
board with a "nibbler" and mounted with superglue on a ground plane was 
more than enough to convince me that it is really worthwhile GIVING UP 
the old methods using tie points/strips, hole punches on a chassis, etc.
