From: "Rod N0RC" To: "Low Power Amateur Radio Discussion" Subject: The " Rock-Mite" Files Date: Tuesday, July 23, 2002 7:27 AM Folks, I noticed on the Small Wonder Labs Website that Dave will open the Rock-Mite "floodgate" on Aug 2. Soon after, QRP-L will swell with Rock-Mite postings! (Personally I can't wait) Building stories, operating stories, packaging, modifications and more! (YIPPEE YA YA YA!) And, what we don't see enough of, links to PICTURES!! I got to thinking it would be nice to have all this information available indexed and/or filed in a central location. So I'm putting together a website that will serve as a central repository for Rock- Mite builders: 'the "Rock-Mite" files'. On this site I will document: o building/operating success stories o modifications o building notes and advice o packaging ideas o best of all, the "Rock-Pile"--PICTURES of your rig!! o links to other sites For those of you who have a web host, put together a page or two (or three) of information, send me the URL and I'll place a link on 'the "Rock-Mite" files'. If you don't have a web host send me the information you would link to share, and I'll provide the web space to publish your Rock-Mite story, picture(s) or both. (To economize on disk space please limit your pictures to 3 or 4, and keep the size down to 480x640 pixels) Beyond that, I'm keeping restrictions to a minimum, and I'm not sure of the exact presentation/organization style. I'm going to let things kind of evolve so as not to stifle creativity. OK that's the deal, send me your best stuff and I'll get it in 'the "Rock-Mite" files', as quick as I can, for others to enjoy. The URL or 'the "Rock-Mite" files" is: http://www.radioactivehams.com/rm/the_Rock-Mite_files.html I put my Rocky Mountain "Rock-Mite" stuff there to get things kicked off. OH, the name 'the "Rock-Mite" files', inspired by the old TV show: "The Rockford Files". To paraphrase the show's opening: ...please send me your Rock-Mite info and I'll get back to you as soon as I can... ;-) 73, Rod N0RC
