G-QRP Club runs an excellent component service for its membership at low cost, and I have been a member for quite a number of years now, and find the service great! Not only does the club stock common general purpose semiconductors, but also some obsolete parts like 2N3819 FET's that are becoming hard to obtain at the right price. Also hard to source Toroids, Crystals, and other passive components. Even technical books & the new DVD of all the back issues of the journal Sprat Issues 1-160 is available, again all at excellent prices and delivery to the membership.
My package arrived smartly this morning from Graham (G3MFJ), who looks after this side of the business for the club:
Of course you have to join the club to get the service, but for only £6 a year (UK) (£12 EU & £13 DX) you also get 4 issues per year of the excellent journal Sprat. That contains about 2/3rds of technical constructional content, ideas, and the rest devoted to members and news about the club etc.

I've been a member of a few clubs and organisations, the the G-QRP is the ONLY
one that I value my membership of, and have the utmost respect for. Finest bunch
of chaps I've ever known.
The well run Yahoo group has a wealth of experience lurking. One post with a
query and it's amazing how much help by email returns.
Today these semiconductors have become a part of our life and without these devices we can't survive. Whether you talk of computer which is lifeline or telephones which keep us connected, all have semiconductor in some form or the other. Basically, a semiconductor is a material which is having the special characteristics that enables it to conduct small amount of electrical current in a controlled manner.
