I like the shoebox prototyping technique. Seems to me that it would be easier to construct something using this technique than the Manhattan technique. I'm going to have to start saving shoebox tops and give it a try. It occurs to me that it might be worthwhile to build a "shoebox" from single-sided PCB material. This would have two advantages over the shoebox top: It would be mechanically sturdier, and the copper side would provide a nice ground plane. I'm going to have to work on this idea a bit more. 73, Dan Hi, Al–

I built a nice regen once using my shoebox technique (see http://www.hotsolder.com/articles/index.php?page=foil-prototyping). Really handy for that sort of thing. One transistor, and a 35mm film can coil. 73 de WD5GNR Enjoy the blog. I built a nice regen once using my shoebox technique (see http://www.hotsolder.com/articles/index.php?page=foil-prototyping).
