My quest for suitable relays continues. Many have suggested that I simply
use vacuum devices. This bullet-proof approach would be the natural 'fix'
to the problem of unreliable relay contacts. At $38 each, the solution
would require 8 devices, costing around $300US. All of my projects include
an 'engineering review' by the XYL, who is particularly thrifty with respect
to the family 'purse.' After she watched me bury $500US of wire in the back
yard 2 weeks ago, this issue requires some sensitivity on my part. I
suspect others can relate to my concerns.
---------------------------------------
May I suggest that you bring XYL over to the Hamradio Fair in
Friederichshafen in June, put her up in one of the nice , small and
low-priced hotels.where she can sample the local wines .
Then you go to the big fleamarket, where you can but cheap Sovjet
manufactured vacuum relays, capacitors and other good stuff at very
attractive prices !
