The evening began by Don, G4LOO showing SMD parts through a microscope which sent the  picture to a video projector and onto the screen.  The magnification must have been by hundreds of times.

As an introduction to SMD, members had seen the RSGB video showing the process of soldering such small parts. Seven members were brave enough to tackle the soldering during the evening. The hardest chore was identifying the actual SMD parts!  Some members had chosen to work on the SMD practice kit at home.

This practice session will continue next Thurs evening.
