 Thank you for placing me on this list of researchers.  Please add my prize to that of TK's and give it to a local dog shelter.  I have studied the work of most of the people on the list but TK I think has the best grip on the whole picture of what this forum is all about.  We have to keep looking and building and testing ---and it must go on.  He has done this for a long time but realizes that the research has to be based on known facts.  Tinkering like I do is fun but building something based on a solid knowledge base like TK does is better.

Sorry guys, I was a few days away and
now finally wanted to make these payments.

The problem now is, that the money is still on my
Amazon.com account as a giftcard code balance and
I just realized, that I  can not buy other Gift card codes
with this Amazon balance... Damn...

So we need to find another method to get the money that sits in Amazon.com Balance now to you
or to this dog pet nursing donation fund...

I just found a
Wag gift card for pet food and pet supplies
http://amzn.to/1mt3vyY

that I could buy probably with my Amazon.com balance
and ship this to an USA based adress...

Or if you just want something else, just give me a
physical good, that is about 25 US$ and give me your shipping adress
and then I will order it on Amazon.com and let it ship to you...
I think this is the only way, I can convert this money sitting in the Amazon.com balance now to the
donations.

So let me know you decision.
To the 3 guys on the list: Whoopy. Tinman and Itsu, who are not located
in the USA, I can send you the money via PayPal, so please supply
me your PayPal email adress to my email hartiberlin@gmail.com
Many thanks.

Regards, Stefan... Sorry, for all the delay.

For simplicity we had decided to send those funds [itsu,TinMan Woopy] to YOUR local animal shelter in Germany along with Tinsel's contribution in memory of Mark E .

Here is another idea Stefan, just a thought. It doesn't put the money towards any charity but it still goes towards some good.

The money could go towards buying someone on the forum some test equipment, like a cheap DSO (a RIGOL or something similar). It may be that most who experiment here already have their own scope, signal generator,  and DMM meters etc, but maybe one or two folks don't.

Anyway, just an idea. I'm pretty sure scopes, signal generators and DMM's can be purchased off Amazon. Or maybe it could go towards circuit boards and/or kits for a COP meter project, that I would be willing to work on myself, or in collaboration with all the "gurus" here. It would be great if everyone used the same COP meter for consistent and easy measurements. I realize that this latter idea can't be purchased off Amazon. Again, just an idea.

Yet one more....efforts could go towards a differential amplifier that would allow scope voltage measurements across any two points in a circuit, without having to worry about grounding and shorting. A problem that we all face when making measurements these days.
