Hi.
I'm a 30 years old hobbyist from Sweden.
We have "Svenska Elektronikforumet" (Swedish electronics forum) over there that is great but i felt that I needed to register on a international  forum too.
So here I am. I've been a Sub for eevblog for a long time so the choice of forum was not hard

I'm doing all kinds of projects. and I try to save them on my site, both in pictures and video clips on youtube.

Glad to be here =)

Hi, still working after about 35 yrs.  20+ with HP in calculators, printers, cameras.  Then Agilent, and Avago.  They sold our group and the wild ride has continued through several more changes.  Still doing embedded stuff for a living.

I'm also into amateur radio as a hobby and community service (W7DMR).

Hi,
My name is Andy, I'm 57. I was born in England but now live in the USA.
I have been studying electronics since I was back in England at the age of 8, when my parents bought me a Philips electronics set. It became a career when I joined a TV repair shop as an apprentice at 16. At 21 I left there to work at British Telecom repairing exchange equipment. After a few years I was asked if I would like to move into the training department to teach the 15 or so annual intake of technician students which I did for several years. The company went through various changes over the years and our section became more manufacturing than repair. We also started running courses on the products that were manufacturing some were Unix based. Fujitsu eventually took over our section of BT and we started manufacturing communication products for them.
After a serious illness I left BT to work at a local college as a Computer services and Network manager.
Around 2000 I moved to the USA. I had enough of the corporate life style so now I work at a residential home for special needs clients. I still love to repair electronic equipment when I get the opportunity, some domestic equipment and some computer or radio equipment as I am a Radio Ham, hence the KB1UIF & G6JVS.
I have a good selection of test equipment that I have aquired over the years some old and some new.
I also have lots of radio equipment that I like to repair when required.
Well that's enough of my waffle, I hope to meet you folks on the forums to throw around a few ideas.

Sup everyone!
I've been an EEVBlog lurker for a while now, and I keep hearing bout the famous forum Dave keeps on saying on his vids, so I joined.
I'm a complete n00b when it comes to electronics, but I know my way around software (also I code! yay!) and computer hardware. Sp yeah, hai.

[PatrikLundin]

Hi there. Patrik, originally from Sweden, now in the US. Mostly a web back-end guy, formerly more application programmer/system designer/whatever I could convince people to pay me for. Some HW experience but mostly software guy. Turned 40 this year, realizing hardware is still really fun and these days it doesn't look as brutal as it was twenty-twenty five years ago.

[wazzokk]

Hi All
I am Dave, i've been a enthusiastic follower of EEVblog videos for quite a while, Luv Em Dave.
I have been, vehicle mechanic, TV engineer, British Telecom engineer and various others. Now retired, married, two kids, two grandkids. Always been into DIY and I like repairing things that are not supposed to be serviceable, I guess thats recycleing but really I just don't like A throwing things away B spending money (Yorkshire Man). I  have been an amateur electronics constructor since I was 11 (valves even) but still don't know much, now playing with Picaxe chips. Inactive Radio Amateur, once  I've built something somebody else can play with it. At the moment wondering whether to buy a Hantek 6022BL/BE after following the "Hantek 6022BE 20MHz USB DSO" thread really excellent work by RichardK with support from others.

Hello fellow Nerds & Geeks! Been doing radio and electronics for awhile....well, since the early 1970s. Got my ham ticket in 1977 and still active, my call is WD4DUI and I hang on 14.300.
Spent 8 years in the USAF as a microwave radio systems troop and worked on many different microwave tranceivers from tube types to solid state types in the 4 to 8 GHz ranges. Also worked on FDM and TDM multiplexers, teletype muxes, battery systems. Stationed at Feldberg Germany, Kwag-Ju Korea, Rome NY & Sumpter S.C. Learned lots a good stuff in the Air Force.
While in high school, I attended Ahren's Trade School and studied Radio & TV repair in Louisville, KY. I loved breaking them rectifier tubes and getting the mercury out of them.
I wish that I had more space for my electronics shop, I have tons of stuff but not enough space to work.
Also, was Cheif Engineer at a wireless MMDS TV company, engineer and manager for a radio direction finder company and other jobs in the radio, telecomm and electronics field. Now retired and need to do more with my radio electronics endeavours. (Pardon my spelling)
73 to all here.

Hi there everybody my name is Bob and I joined this forum on 4 Nov 2014, This is my first post, just to say hello, it as taken me until now to find where to place this post ( so I will have no chance of finding my way round circuit boards  )I retired a few years ago so I started looking at electronics, I have followed Dave and his EEVblog vids on you tube for quite some time and I thought it was time to join, so here I am, I have read lots of other boards and I decided that this one was the most friendly, people seem to respect each other on this board, they can have a dig at people but they don't resort to swearing and name calling, quite civilised, for this I thank you all, I hope that one day I will be able to add to the knowledge that is here, but until I get that good I will just ask daft questions. Many thanks for reading this far, Bob

[samnmax]

Hi everybody!

I'm a computer enginneer from Catalonia with an interest/hobby in electronics. I like taking things apart and repairing them, and Dave's videos have been very useful and instructional (and funny  )
I finally decided to join the forum to post about the repairs I've done to my first oscilloscope, a Philips PM3218.

Cheers!

[blundar]

My name is Dave.  I've been lurking here for years but finally got around to registering on the forum.  I work with automotive electronic systems a lot.  I'd love to play with more high voltage stuff, like SSTC/plasma speaker kinda stuff.

[-jeffB]

I'm Jeff. I'm a longtime electronic hobbyist, although I've been pretty inactive for the last decade or so. I cut my teeth on LS TTL and op-amps in plastic DIPs, so your modern chip capacitors and BGAs confuse and frighten me. 

I was drawn here by the lengthy discussion of the Seek Thermal camera dongle -- I've got one on order, and I've got some vague ambitions of doing more than just point-and-shoot work with it. My professional and academic background is in computer science and usability, and I spent a lot of time working with ImageJ at a previous job, so I'm hoping I can do a bit of useful tinkering on the software side.

[TubiCal]

Hi #?,

This is TubiCal and i just found this fred here. I studied EE/telecommunications @ "Technische Hochschule Darmstadt" or FHD nowadays calling itself h_da. I worked as a PCB design engineer for about four years until the company sourced it all out. Prior to that i was a student employee at VDE here in germany, as i liked to blow up things on purpose and got paid for that;)

Now i earn my money i a complete different field of activity, as i do not want to work my ass off for absolute minimum payment.

But electronics remains as it is one of my major hobby, along with music and recording.
As i done both part time professional. I was a part time musician for a studio, played in various bands (hard rock, funk, jazz, electro, trance...)Run a studio until we closed as money margins had been cut to nearly zero.

I had most fun while done some ProAudio rental service during the 199x. Popping cones from 18inch woofers prior to its reconing was a lot of fun, as well as bowing up serious PA-Amps on purpose to see if they are as good as claimed by the manufacturer (mostly - there where not;)

Last, but definitive not least, i *like* tubes.

[john44066]

Hi,

My name is John Eccles. I live in Cheraw, South Carolina, USA and I am 66 years young. I am now retired from the electronics industry as a hardware/software/firmware design and development engineer where I worked on Coastal Radar systems, military systems for aircraft flight displays, fuel quantity measurements systems, and landing systems, and then finally design and development for military vehicle computer systems in support of the Iraq and Afghanistan conflicts.

While in retirement I am active in the following areas:

Amateur radio

Live sound production and DJing both video and audio

Astronomy - tracking systems for telescopes such as Meade and Nexstar. I have a website http://www.heavenscape.com as well as a forum. I have recently purchased all rights and ownership to a satellite tracking program software package called Satellite Tracker. This is a very interesting aspect of my life. I have a Meade LX-200 ACF 10 inch telescope and a Nexstar 8SE 8 inch telescope for use as my development environment. Now the fun begins.

I have a full lab for doing hardware, firmware and software development. I just upgraded my computer to a Dell XPS 8700 i7 Win 7 with four 23 inch monitors along with a Dell XPS 17 i7 Win 7 laptop.

Well, anyway, there is a lot more that I could share but this is enough for now.

I find this forum very, very interesting and I just stumbled upon it a week or so ago.

[SCase]

Hello. I'm Steve living in Thousand Oaks. I've been in the test equipment business for the last 35 years or so, now working mostly in RF / microwave gear.

In my spare time I build gadgets out of Arduino's, Pic's and Picaxe's; and my latest platform is the Raspberry PI.

I also teach an after school science program for 4th and 5th graders at a local school. Tying to give them as much hands-on time as possible with electronics and computers. Fortunately, they love it!

I have some vintage gear too. Fluke 910 AC Meter, 801 Differential Meter, and my favorites: Fluke 1722A Controller  and 1020A Touch Terminal. I even have some bubble-memory cards, (256k I think) for the 1722A.

Cheers to Dave for the awesome vids!
