[Premium-Rx] My assistant

[Carcia, Frank A. HS]

Gary,
My first transmitter was a single 6V6 crystal controlled. The crystal was
plugged into one side of an octal socket. The other side was a #14 jumper
at B+ so I could check current with my VOM. 
This was just before I learned you should put a bleeder resistor across the
power supply. The rig was off when my best friend asked as he touched it.
Hey what is this for....As he flew across the basement. He is worth millions
today. maybe that jolt helped.   fc

Frank and Paul, 

I helps if the older person in the shack is not malicious. 

When I asked my older brother (I was 4, he was 16) if that thing over there
(soldering iron) was hot, he replied, "grab it and find out".

Mom nearly killed him.  My hand is okay now ... and I went into electronics
anyway.

Paul, 
Nothing beats a little helper in the shack. Just make sure he learns the 
soldering iron is a hot thing. I had my son put his lips across a 9 volt 
battery to understand tricity. My guy 
likes the spectrum analyzer the best. 
Last night he mentioned the base line looked like grass. My response was, 
that's correct it is called grass. 
Then you need to have somebody sell all your toys when you get too old to 
lug them to the flea markets.   fc

Hi Fellows, 

I realize that our main goal with this group is discuss radio activity, but 
every once in a while, a good human interest story could probably slip in 
without too much discomfort. Here is the reason why it takes me a little 
longer than most, to complete some projects. Have a look at my assistant, 
last night discovering that pushing these little button things make this box

make funny noises.

I'll let you know how I make out with my LCD lighting project when I make 
some progress. Also I still want to change out that power supply. Even with 
the taps changed that heatsink is too hot to touch and in my books, that's 
50C which means the silicon junctions will be much hotter which is too hot 
for them to live long healthy lives. 

Happy Easter. 

Kind regards,
