Subject: [BITX20] Any BITX20 builders in Mumbai I am currently on business in Mumbai and wanted to interact with BITX builders in Mumbai. This project is interesting since all components are available in India and I happen to be in the financial capital of India. However a weekend tour of the electronics component market here has left me quite disappointed. For instance, not one shop I went to was able to understand what an NP0 capacitor meant and it took me 3 trips to get simple polyester film capacitors. I however managed to pick up 2 Broadcast type air variables (maybe 500pf). To make a long story short, it may take me months to gather the parts at the current rate. Hence if there are any Mumbai BITX builders I can interact with them to get parts sources in the city to build my BITX. I think it is a very worthwhile project to build and take back to my home qth. The group is great and one can see the "power" of open source. 72, Jay (KC5TQS)
