I put the calls in today and I am happy to announce that The Geek Group has 
solved the MMC capacitor issue.

We will be a distributor for CD within the next few days/weeks (as soon as 
we work out the particulars) and I am doing everything in my power to get a 
special version of the 942C series marketed as "Geek Certified" etc (It's a 
PR thing). These caps will be made availible to the entire worldwide coiling 
community with the hopes of making them the standard for MMC caps. I'm 
working on getting them priced as low as possible (I'm shooting for a buck a 
piece) and we will sell them, as well as resistors, without the horrendous 
markup of your local electronics shop.

We'll be selling the caps in the same manner as our shirts. Payment through 
paypal, and we'll ship anywhere in the world. You DO own a Group T-shirt 
don't you? ;)

btw, look for a new member on the Pupman list soon, the head of R&D at CD is 
interested in building a 6" coil :) I spent half an hour this afternoon 
going over the finer points of winding a secondary.

I love this job.


Have fun! Help the energy crunch, wear a Group T-shirt to stay warm.

ok...-dot-completely off topic so reply off list....but I have a question for 
all you radio gods out there. I have heard that there are transmitters all 
over the world, most out in the moddle of open ocean, that broadcast a 
single letter (like, S or K) over and over continuously. Noone claims 
ownership or responsibility for these, and they are rather small 
transmitters. Is this true? What are they? Why are they there? I had a 
Groupie mention them to me and now I'm frightfully curious :)

Thanks guys!
