Unfortunately, Hotmail (and other free email services) is programmed to trash messages which contain certain URLs and key words. AOL is also problematic. Sometimes it puts them in your Junk folder. Sometimes it black-holes them completely so you never knew they were sent. If you haven't come across this previously, you have been very lucky.

Satellite Secrets - Installing Analogue

Each month Martin Pickering as "Jack Armstrong" wrote a monthly "Satellite Workshop" column for "Television Servicing" magazine.

We've compiled some of the original, unedited versions - that means they are longer and funnier than the published versions. They may contain errors or stories which have never appeared in print. They might also contain the odd note to the editor!

It is simply too good to give away for free.

Surface Mount Technology - Design Guidelines
by Martin T. Pickering B.Eng.
  • Why do multilayer ceramic capacitors crack or burst into flames?
  • What size/shape copper pads should I use?
  • How can I reduce the cost of solder by 60%?

These notes were written a few years ago but the points considered remain valid today. They don't contain hard and fast "rules" but attempt to make the designer think logically about his design. Of course, there are some contentious points, which are bound to raise comments such as "Why should I change. I've always done it in such-and-such a way?" My answer is "Why not? You won't know unless you try it!" I worked for fifteen years as a designer and I didn't simply pull these ideas out of a hat. Hopefully you will find them interesting and thought-provoking.
