General Radio Discussion / Re: Is this the end of the wire for RadioShack?

« on: January 11, 2014, 2049 UTC »

I do miss walking into Radio Shack and finding components I really needed.  Now, they have a few drawers, with almost nothing in them.  When I hit the door and am asked "Can I help you find something", I laugh inside, and kindly reply "No, I'm good thanks".  Like the 18 year old kid even stocks those drawers, and if he does, he's oblivious to what the stuff is.  I'm tempted to ask for a 1.21 gigawatt flux capacitor, but I'm not that cruel.  If I need a quick antenna adapter from China, I'm usually in luck.

Mouser is my favorite place to shop now.  They ship VERY fast, and have EVERYTHING a research vessel might require.  I have even gotten samples from time to time, free of charge.  They rock...

Yep, "Cell Phone Shack" is comatose...time to pull the plug.

I don't think it is "Play" Current, I think it is Radio Plate Current.  About S8 in the Mojave Desert of California.

Vince --  That was where I was leaning.  Something this beautiful and powerful deserves nothing more than amplitude modulation.

Poll pigs are available surplus...and would make a perfect reserve anchor.  With the protruding electrodes, it would even dig into the mud.

I'm trying to find a good homebrew or even commercial schematic.  I would hate to power this up, and have it launch off the deck  Fireworks are fun, but this little baby probably has a ton of smoke to let out.

I had an "old" friend pass them down.  I'm pretty excited about them.  They are so beautiful, and feel and weigh about the same as a newborn baby.  I have done everything but name them

So...I'm trying to obtain the perfect transformer for this little project.  Hmmm...maybe in the 220V flavor.  I'm sure it will be a good third anchor for The Red Mercury herself.

Well well well.....maybe, just maybe it'll work.  Voltage is irrelevant next to the power of the force...

Burial at sea is not an option, just for their simple value in auctions.  What the hell are folks using these for?  I'm familiar with dielectric welding...but still...  Romulian Disrupters are still very much outlawed...so what other use could there be...
