Pacificon 2006 Convention

Friday, September 15th, 2006

We are preparing to depart now for the SJVARS Harvest Hamfest (where we have an Early presentation), but in a few weeks we will be going to Pacificon. We have a session scheduled, “How to Build a Pneumatic Antenna Launcher” at 10:45 in Salon F. On the Pacificon web www.pacificon.org, it has been shortened and the word “Launcher” left off. Hope to see you all there! We will also have a corner of the wife’s Cookie Lee jewelry table in the hallway.

News Update

Zip Reels have been on order for a long time, and they recently arrived at Eric’s shop.

I made a new fixture for machining valves. There are a lot of steps to prepare a valve, and the fixture helps a bit with the process.

I added sprinkler valve solenoids to the miscellaneous section. These perfectly brand new Rainbird sprinkler solenoids that we remove from our valves are collecting, so we might as well make them available for folks that use them. Turns out that lightning blows them out, so there is a need for replacements.
