Pontefract's coat of arms
Colin's Constructor's Corner

Colin has already written up some useful notes on the Willow 40m transceiver project (See The Willow Transceiver on this site.) He also developed the GDO and frequency counter we made as a club project in 2007 and the Morse decoder on the 2008 construction calendar.

Colin is well-known for always getting the best value when it comes to components and project hardware (Something about being a Yorkshireman?) Like the rest of us, Colin uses the big suppliers like RS, Farnell, CPC and JPR. But he also appreciates the service and value of other suppliers, amongst his favourites for online home-brewer's shopping are

Writing about the Morse decoder project, Colin mentions links to www.bitsbox.co.uk  and www.sycomcomp.co.uk, saying "they are both dealers that I use for components and they have always given very good service and value for club projects etc."
