Re: New Members - please post your introductions here

Well, I guess I would be classed as an electronic hobbyist. I have no electronic training, and really feel my mechanical skills better than electronics. I have built simple kits and even etched boards but did no real design. I understand the simple theory of DC circuits and even the use of opamps. I have been forced to learn some simple (I avoid Smith plots like the plague) RF amplifiers because I have spent over 18 years working on cyclotrons (plus 13 working on Van de Graaffs).

My true hobby is riding my GoldWing...
