Summary
To do the exercises, you need the NorCal 40A transceiver kit, available from Wilderness Radio, tel. 650.494.3806, http://www.fix.net/jparker/wild.html, P.O. Box 734, Los Altos, CA 94023-0734. The NorCal 40A has its own home page on the World Wide Web at http://www.fix.net/∼jparker/norcal.html. The kit includes all the parts, a metal box with silk-screen lettering, and excellent instructions.
We have included a list of the equipment and parts that are used in each exercise and a vendor list. For reference, we include vendors for the components in the NorCal 40A, even though it is cheaper and more convenient to buy the kit. Vendors and parts change from time to time. There are additional considerations for a class. Extra components need to be purchased to allow for failures, and it is a good idea to talk to Bob Dyer at Wilderness Radio directly to plan. Power supplies and batteries must be short-circuit protected, both for safety and cost. For the batteries, we add fuses and switches and wrap everything in heat-shrink tubing.
