bbadcaps.net" is not a training site for my and others learning style.
 Training carries the denotation of bhands onb experiencebbdoingb as
well
as bhearingb and bseeing".  I didnbt find any training that would help
me
(and my learning style).  If I recall, another responder mentioned another
website and it was the same.

I need a person or a place with a course where I can see.

The bottom line is that one size does not fit all.  Other websites like b
badcaps.netb in my area of expertise are helpful but not in a new area by
soldering.

I will continue searching for a person or place in my area.  If anyone has
recommendations for less expensive equipment, I would appreciate it.  But
being a novice, specific recommendations are needed.  Thanks
