Nowadays I prefer using PC board for mounting components. The Al chassis
being upside-down used as a shielded base. In many cases the smaller components can be just soldered together in "basket weave" construction supported by the ones that need to be soldered to the PC-board ground plane. Decades ago Pete Sulzer did his prototypes in full basket-weave style without a ground plane - but few people can visualize ground loops well enough to build RF circuits that way. When you visited his company you'd see his prototypes hanging from nails on the wall. =============== Talking about nails ,some time ago in the dutch amateur radio mag. 'Electron' , there was an article describing a kid's radio. ,dubbed 'Nail Radio' . Its construction was on a piece of timber into which copperclad nails had been hammered in circuit diagramme configuration .. The components (for this medium wave receiver) were subsequently soldered to the nail heads. A superb way to introduce newcomers to electronics and radio home-brewing. Frank GM0CSZ / KN6WH |
