Motto

If a person can envision something - another person can understand it.

By this I want to emphasize the idea that one is never too old to start/learn something new - it is mostly question of the time needed to digest. On the other hand nothing should be considered impossible - not at least without trying it.

Electronics

Interest started when I build a microphone amplifier circuit.

My school teacher encouraged his pupils to select a solder-yourself electronics kit from Kemo Electronics somewhere in 90s.. I build a parabolic microphone and found it fascinating how all the components were selected. Obviously it took years of training before I achieved level to be able fully comprehend the design.

Radiotechnology

I started experimenting wireless with a Citizens Band radio

My father used these radios in his tractors and combine harvester long before cell phones for communication. However, at night one could receive transmissions from Europe - perhaps even from Italy. Later in high school I got my amateur radio licence. After building my QROlle-tranceiver-kit I started collecting countries at 20 meters band (14 MHz). So far my farthest QSO is to Brazil with 10 W transmit power.
