Huh? Does not compute, as they are both the same alloy, just different tempers The ASM pages for both show the same yield and ultimate strengths, but different hardnesses http://asm.matweb.com/search
Heh - How RF rich are some of these sites? I saw one where the guy had a 2m band antenna, and he hooked up his bird watt meter to the antenna (and NOTHING else - no rig etc) - he was reading 5 WATTS

I live in NYC (Queens), and I talked with ConEd about 3 Phase power (I have a home machine shop) and was told "you want 3 Phase? No problem - You just have to replace your panel, and pay for the line
Easier to make a clean DC Power supply, and besides, I think I've said I do have a machine shop - hence the sig below ;) Oh, and you can instant reverse a 3 phase motor without waiting for it to spin
Diamond is the WRONG material for cutting ferrous metals - if the blade gets at all hot (and it will), the diamond can actually dissolve into the steel, raising it's carbon content, making both the s
What tool are you using to drive the saw? The issue with ANY "grit blade" is that the "tooth" of the blade is fairly fine, so it's going to actually tend to both clog, and cut fairly slowly, BUT the

We all know that the classic ground panel is a plate of copper of some thickness, and also that other than silver, Cu is the best conductor out there My question - I am thinking of making a ground pa
I wasn't so much talking for the buss bar - Hence the second part - "feed through panel" - what I'm looking at is putting an enclosure on the outside of the house, and an aluminum panel on the INSID
There are any number and style of panel mount connectors available - probably the easiest to use would be a Circular Style - I see 431 different 8 pin panel mount cicrular connectors - pick one. Hec
What is interesting is "yield strength" vs ultimate strength - various tempers WILL have different yield strengths - "Yield strength" is the amount of force to cause the material to BEND and NOT retu
Stay-Brite (at least some of them) is a Low temp silver bearing solder, that (at least with the rolls I have) melts at temps BELOW what normal 60/40 melts at (does anyone actually use 60/40? I always
Heck - THINK twice even when doing 'easy' things Back in college, I was helping string an 80m dipole - dead simple job, we were setting it on a slope, and everything was on flat roofs, with parapet w
Hi Gang, Over the next couple of weeks, my shack (including tower/antennas) will be getting a MAJOR upgrade Right now, I've got a A-D DX-EE for 10-40m, an SB-230amp, all being driven by an FT-1000 Mk
Thanks All - I didn't even know about the LP100 till a bunch of you recommened it - an order has been placed - looks like a useful toy^h ol. Now to actually go GET the A78 - it's oh, 1/8 mile from ho
I know 3 of the stories personally - 2 of the hammers, and one of an ashtray Hammer #1 - wasn't a 'normal' hammer at all, but what should probably be called an 'impulse hammer' - it was made out of c
Hi Gang, More questions for the shack rebuild As you saw from my previous posts, I have 10-40m covered fairly well (well, except 30m - and no real interest there) The issue is 80m As I said before, I
