Hi, Newer to ham radio, but getting a good feel of it. Passed the General ticket, now on to the Extra. HOWEVER, I know ZIP about electronics. Ask me to wire 110/220v stuff & I can do your whole house. Ask me to breadboard a simple circuit & I am lost. I could really use someone out there who has enough experience in electronics to help me with the projects I attempt to tackle like 555 timer circuits, or maybe reference a parts data sheet online to tell me how to wire the part in the correct way the first time. We can do this all via email, and I regret to say I haven't much to offer back in return unless you live Seattle area & need some help wiring your house. You would get my eternal online gratitude for answering my 0-3 emails a week. Any takers? Thanks, Dan KØAST

If we get into something you don't get...we'll back up 'til we find out the principle is that you don't understand and then study that 'til ya do get it then do it all over... I won't just tell ya answers mostly, but I'll lead you so you can teach yourself. If you wanna do it, just e-mail me, 73 Harry N0PU harry@earth2.net

The ARRL Handbook is the best Elmer there is. You can carry it with you anywhere, read it anytime , and it does not require any acknowledgement. You can learn AC,DC,RF,AF,digital and do-it-yourselfing as well. The newest version may simply be called "The Amateur Radio Handbook" I am not advocating any ARRL policies or actions,just that they put out a good book. Even after 25 years as a HAM I still consult mine. 73 - Tim

The ARRL also has a decent book on basic electronics I would reccommend..it's done in layman's terms. I also would/can help. 73 John

I'll be glad to help also. And if you get down into Oregon on occasion, you can stop by and see if there is anything of interest on the workbench or in the junk box. - Dale WB6BYU wb6byu@arrl.net

Hi Dan, I'll be glad to help any way I can.. I've been in the field for over 35 years; I don't know everything; then again, nobody does. But I'll be glad to help if I can. Just contact me: mycall@juno.com. 73, Larry WA9SVD P.S. Ask 100 hams, and you'll probably get 120 answers. ;-)
