Theres a Tobacconist down the street that sells empty cigar boxes wood, metal, paper and plastic. Every time I pass by I think of grabbing a few for cigar box radios. He only sells them for around $1-4 depending on size and material so it's not bad at all. For $20 I could drive away with a carload. I may just do that! Title: Re: The 160 Mtr Puffer Station Post by: AF9J on April 01, 2007, 10:01:24 PM Just a transmitter, a reciever, or the typical complete transceiver in an Altiods tin (you know, like the Pixie, 49er [I built mine in a small project box], or ATS III)?
Ellen - AF9J Yes, I also do QRP (have, for 20 years) Only if it glows......

Neat! Do these make Curiously Strong signals?

Theres a Tobacconist down the street that sells empty cigar boxes wood, metal, paper and plastic. Boy if he has one more Ashton box I would love to get it for the modulator. I thought I had one ore but I do not and there are no local stores. SH and other cost gladly repaid.. Size is not important as it will only have one tube, several connectors and a small transformer or two 73 Title: Re: The 160 Mtr Puffer Station Post by: k4kyv on April 01, 2007, 11:29:10 PM Ever tried to sell one of those wooden cigar boxes on e-Pay?
Title: Re: The 160 Mtr Puffer Station Post by: n3lrx on April 01, 2007, 11:38:28 PM Carl,
I may be by there tomorrow. If I get the chance I'll stop by and look, if he doesn't have any I'll ask him to save a couple for me. I only go there to get my cigarettes now and then. I'm not a cigar smoker so I'm not familiar with brands but I'll check to see if he carries Ashton. He may since he does have quite a large selection I've just never paid much mind to them. Title: Re: The 160 Mtr Puffer Station Post by: Carl WA1KPD on April 02, 2007, 08:57:29 AM Thank you very much,
The wooden ones generally go for around $5.00. It is a pretty popular brand so hopefully he will have one.
