Question For Jim Weir

Nothing About Electronics...I can relate. That is one reason I want to
experiment with building some things such as a radio. To get a better
understanding of them.

This is jumping into the deep end like you wouldn't believe..8-) A better
hack at some first time projects would be something around audio
frequencies or so. Better probability of success and likely something you
can actually use and enjoy. I am not trying to discourage you at all. But
there's a reason that there are so few "really good" RF guys around - they
live in a different world from the vast majority of day-to-day grunts who
are product designers/EE's cranking out widgets for the masses.

I was involved in product development for more than 25 years and
still hold purely "analog" guys (and "RF guys" in particular - as a
subspecies of the analog types) with some degree of suspicion 8-)...
and a fair amount of awe. You have to love it apparently, and you
have to really bust your nuts to master it.

But - it ain't "rocket science". It's "radio science". I don't know which
is worse...8-)............. I'm starting to dabble in it a little 'cause I
don't
have anything better to do - and because I've probably already
gotten as "twisted" as possible - and this can't make it worse.

YMMV - and it *will* - I promise...8-).....
