metallic mercury rolled around in your hand is not absorbed through the skin.
I don't know, not about to try it, but I think it would just come out the other
end if you ate it.
You know, "they" banned lead from paints. But the binder for latex paints is
mercury.
They have banned mercurial th
Since I don't operate SSB, I have been a long time getting around to some mods
on the SSB board. I removed original capacitors and crystals, and installed
the new crystals and the capaciotors for 2.4 khz wide reception. i had long
ago done the upgraded 2nd XFIL mods on the RF board.

some questions about the noise blanker lately, recently I had some rain/snow
static. i did NOT expect the noise blanker to have any effect on this and have

station is sending, and listen in time to hear who he is answer
with apologies to Young Frankenstein, "How I Did It!"
FWIW, I was one of the first to experiment with this. I developed an approach
that worked well for me, and here it is.
Understand, the mission is to minimize the inductance of the connection. The

it could be lifted straight off, instead of having to be slid back over the
connectors on the rear apron, it would be SO much easier.
My question:

If you have left over EC2 parts from outboarding your KPA-100 with the KAT100,
I would appreciate them and would glad repay shipping. I want to cut them up,
combining them, to create a small matching box for a K2 related project.
