@mos_8502 @jpm I've only got one or two projects right now that need me to add a few SMD components, but if these go well I'll probably upgrade and make entirely new plans haha

@mike @mos_8502 if you need any 0402 size 10K resistors, let me know, I just bought a reel of 10,000. It was $3.50 for the entire reel.

@jpm @mike @mos_8502 where on Earth? I was just looking at a USD50 SMD assortment kit, and now I’m wondering if instead I could buy one of these reels for each component and value as I first need them and then coast for the rest of my radio home brewing life.

@vk2tty @mike @mos_8502 speaking of which, I now have 10,000 10k 0402 size resistors. It’s smaller than you think.

Today, I reckon I might solder and tune my RFBitBanger until I’m sore, then see how many of the parts listed by N6QW in How To Stuff A Junk Box (PDF) are in stock at LCSC. #HamRadio #RFBitBanger https://www.jessystems.com/How%20To%20Stuff%20A%20Junk%20Box.pdf

I’ve been telling fibs!

I assumed N6QW published How To Stuff A Junk Box in 2020, because that’s when the archive.org first indexed it, but his web server says last-modified April 2019 and the PDF’s metadata says it was “printed” in December 2011. I should have checked.
