real SOLDER with LEAD
the lead-free RoHS junk doesn't wet or flow properly, and looks like a 'cold' joint when it's cooled.
I stocked up about 2 years ago when the lead weenies started banning tin-lead. Got about 40 rolls of good ole tin-lead, various sizes and brands. Love the the rosin core stuff that smells like pine. Reminds me of the times my old man would repair the old B&W TV set back in the 60's. |

Use an "AM Courtesy Filter" to limit transmit audio bandwidth +-4.5 KHz, +-6.0 KHz or +-8.0 KHz when needed. Easily done in DSP.

There's a really good lookin' blond on Amer. Idol who has her whole right arm from the shoulder down tatooed in some sort of mural. Really pretty face and can sing too. I guess it's a cultural bias thing or age thing with me, but any tatoo that large sort of tells me a lot about the girl. ..kind of cheapens the image. I must be really uptight.  |

I find it odd, in a sad way, that to be vulgar (meaning base as well as crude) is the "In" thing. No one dresses nicely, we swear in everday convesation, and tattoos and piercings are a-ok. I guess every generation has to do sometihng to alienate themsevles from the one prior... |

Sunspots and the MUF above 18MHz. I don't know if my imagination or my age, but it seems like this minimum is much longer than any I remember.

Twenty rolls would have probably been more than enough for my lifetime. Got a good deal on them so I couldn't refuse. Yep, I went nuts gathering up tin/lead solder off of EBay when a thread a year or two ago appeared here about the RoHs BS and banning of lead solder was rolled out. I think Tom/JJ went nuts too. |

My biggest gripe is things that are made of plastic when they could be made of metal.
I've been in an on going fight recently with my dishwasher that is 5 years old and all the plastic stuff that is crapping out would not have crapped out if it was made of metal.
