Electronics and Ham Radio

Electronics was probably my earliest interest (well, earliest technical one at least). I was soldering together LED and sound kits at age 7! I am not like other engineers, who often recite stories of pulling things apart when they were kids, and breaking them aprt to try and understand how they worked. Whilst the desire to know was there, the fear of breaking things to an irreparable level was much stronger! Nonetheless I somehow made it.

I knew while I was in school I wanted to work in electronics. With a lot of thanks to my ever patient and loving Mum (I love you so much!), she helped me in my first job search to become an apprenctice electronics engineer. My jobs have taught me a lot, and the engineers I've worked with have been incredibly helpful with my endless tirade of questions and pointing me towards the right resources to improve.

Ham Radio

I first got my amateur license in 2010, passing my foundation license then. After many years on and off, I finally passed my full license with distinction in 2021. I do not operate often, I find more enjoyment in understanding the working principles that power radio than actually using it, and never had any interest in DXing/competitions. However I'm very proud of my license and use it as a username most everywhere!

Projects

Here are the pages on my electronics focused projects:

• Quansheng HF Modification
• Synsonic Keyboard Repair
• My Soldano Amplifier Clone Build
• Repairing Akta Bioscience Equipment

TODO - Projects I'm planning to add/discuss

I'm planning to work on and/or make some pages for these projects, so I've listed them here to remind me to get on and do them!

• mcHF
• Satellite Tracker
• NinoTNC
• PCB designs
