[sdiy] zener diode tester in edn magazine

[harrybissell]

Sadly... the EDN folk no longer understand electronics.

Did you see the travesty they made of the "boosted triode"

posted one idea with the caption from last issue's idea.

I contacted them and said I sould get a free t-shirt of someting...

no response (LOL)
