>A couple of us local QRPers came back from Dayton this past May
>with a reasonable stock of good quality, double-sided, 1/16" pcb material.
>We bought as many big sheets of this stuff as we could push along in a
>shopping cart through torrential rain back to my truck, bloodied our fingers
>from handling it all, and ripped the upholstery that it rubbed against
>during the trip back home. (This is all true and it was quite an adventure,
>but its another story :-)
>
>Anyway, it was a good deal and we figured we'd find a way for QRPers
>to use this stuff. So with all the talk here on the lists about where to get
>boards and how exorbitant the prices are, we scratched our respective
>heads and came up with ...
>
>"The NJQRP Manhattan Homebrewing Starter Kit"
>1) 2 boards 6" x 9" (e.g., nice for base and panels boards of Boy Scout
>Regen Receiver in QHB #4)
>2) 4 boards 3" x 4.5" (good for those smaller projects, like an RF amp,
>audio amp,
>3) 5 assorted small scrap pieces (good for creating braces, standoffs,
>punched pads, etc)
>4) 4 thin 3/16" x 6" strips (snip off in 1/8" increments to create about 200
>Manhattan Pads)
>5) 1 small tube of Elmer's Super Glue (2 grams ... enough to attach several
>hundred pads)
>6) 1 Scotch-Brite abrasive pad (for board cleaning)
>7) The "Manhattan-Style Homebrewing Guide" (some 20 pages of instruction,
>recommended tools, photo examples from experts such as Jim Kortge and Chuck
>Adams, and simple practical example projects.)
>
>PRICE:  $10.00 shipped to your doorstep. (In the case of DX orders, please
>add $3 for overseas shipments.)

>will be going to the printer this week.  It's a *fabulous* issue containing
>12 different projects concerning antennas, PSK31, debugging, equipment,
>homebrewing, pcb's, and more.  We know you'll like this issue!  (But only if
>you've recently renewed ... many subscriptions ran out with the last issue.
>Check your last mailing label to see if you have any issues remaining in
