On theleft hand side are "clickable" navigation links which take you to things like basic electronics,antennas, amplifiers, data sheets, downloads, filters, oscillators and receivers etc. Eachdirectory has its own navigation bars to different topics under that general heading. Also eachtopic has at the end, and indeed often throughout the topic, related topic links. It's that easy.If you haven't already done so, I suggest you right click your mouse now and "create a short cut"for your desk top. Not surprisingly, I am often asked "where can I get some interesting electronic projectkits?".Well it's difficult to find proper kit sites I'm happy with. On a default basis I can recommend Amazon who have supported this site for a very long time.Go to the Electronic Kits to Build NEW! - Amazon Electonic Component Packs for DIY builders. Check out the Amazon Electronic Component Packs page.This site is so popular that from 1st January, 2002 I have had to double the site's bandwidthrequirements simply because of the sheer volume of traffic.

A good friend of mine, Roger and his wife Bracha have recently purchasedan online rocketry store called "JonRocket.com's Online Rocketry Store". I've looked it over and,while it's been 50 years since I had any remote involvement with model rocketry at SydneyUniversity, it's obvious this world has changed dramatically since those days. So if model rocketryis among your interests then go and look over Roger and Bracha's "JonRocket.com's Online Rocketry Store". Don'tforget to say G'Day.SITE POPULARITYThis site has become so popular that not only do I predict the calendar year 2005 will probablysee over 1,500,000 individuals look at about 5 million pages.Did you know this site is linked from some of the most widely respected educational institutions in the world?This is a fraction of the feedback I've already received aboutthis site.Web site Corrections - Occasionally a typo slips through and is displayed online. I valueattention to quality in my electronics tutorials and will make every effort to correct errorspointed out to me or other areas where a tutorial is not as clear as it could be. Please contact methough my comments form and indicate the URL of the affected page.COOKING AND RECIPESWell I actually know a hell of a lot about cooking and recipes simply because in conjunction with drinking wine it's my very favouritepast time and quite healthy also. No not the namby pamby health food kind of cooking, my recipeslargely come from my old mum who ensured each of us kids could cook a baked dinner by the time wewere 14. You also had to be able to clean, wash, iron and sew at that age! Other recipes I learnedalong the way as, in my lifetime, Australia has become a truly multicultural country with a greatmany nations contributing their style of cooking and sharing their recipes with usWHERE DO I LIVE?Sometimes I'm asked questions such as: "where do you live?"..., "what's it likeliving there in Australia?"...In answer to these burning issues I have prepared this page. I hope you find it interesting.I'll try to update it as much as possible.Ian Purdie VK2TIP's home and surroundingarea.AND FINALLY IF YOU HAVE A SENSE OF HUMOUR Have fun here ....Humour for amateur radio and electronicsenthusiasts.
