Hello, been watching Daves videos on YouTube and thought I'd have a browse on here. I'm based in the UK and work as a UPS technician, I deal with kit from 3KVA through to 1.4MW, predominantly 40-800VA though. I'm still learning lots and hope to accelerate that on here.

Hello,
a few months ago I discoverd Davids videos and many of them are so recognisable and interesting.
I studied electronica from 1990 till 1994 and followed working in computer and monitor repair for one year because military duty calls and one year later I started in PBX's.
Even before my study my basic hobby was (and still is) electronics and my first kit was a philips kit with a board with springs and a few components and a very clear education manual.
In the years I repaired very many things with and withuot a mainsplug on it :-)
(radio, vcr, psu, tv, digital fotocameras, audiomixingpanels, audio amps, video switches, crt projector, anyway ... way much more ...)
In my study I bought my first oscilloscope a Dynatek 2 ch 20 Mhz scope and I bought a Fluke 12 DMM.
Years later I got 2 analog storage scopes a philips and a tektroniks (so that why I like scope vids very much).
Anyway, I hope I can learn more here and help others with questions
Greetz

Steve from upstate New York USA here. This looks like a great resource. I retired a couple of years ago and now have a little more time to play with my collection of antique electronics.
I collect antique radios and record players but now mostly antique test equipment from the 1920s through 1940s. You can check out some of my test equipment collection here:
http://www.stevenjohnson.com/testers-misc.htm You will also find links to the rest of the collection of radios, soldering irons, and my workbench here:
http://www.stevenjohnson.com/Over the past few years I've built a large library of antique service manuals covering U.S. and Canadian radios, record players, amplifiers, and test equipment which I sell on-line. I don't miss the 9 to 5 day job at all. Looking forward with chatting with a few of you.

Mihai from Romania here, late 20's, no EE formal education or job. Passionate about it though. Currently working on a linear programmable lab PSU with switch-mode tracking pre-regulator and lots of other goodies.
Great place this forum, I've learned lots so far, hope to grow and give something back to the community. Cheers!

Chris from UK here. Taking early steps into RF circuits and home construction, hobby only, and looking to get a better grasp on wrangling electrons. Followed Dave's tube blog for some time, thanks for having me and providing the forum. All the best from the UK.
Chris.

Hello everyone, Scott from Georgia, USA here. I'm a "formally trained" Electrical Engineer and graduated from college in 2008, but I've found the most I learn is by tinkering, playing arorund, and experimenting. There has been more than one occasion where I've released some magic electronics smoke... all in the process of learning, of course!
For me, it all started in high school -- I was really into computers all through middle school and I kept asking the question of "how does that work?" Eventually, that led me into the actual electrical construction of a construction of a computer, and here I am. I find nearly every facet of electronics interesting, but the analog side of things really intrigues me.
I come across Dave's EEVblog when I was thinking about getting a Kindle. I stumbled on his Kindle 3 teardown/review and I've been hooked ever since. I figure that now is as good a time as any to quit lurking and hopefully contribute to the community a bit! Keep up the good work Dave and everyone else!

Call me ignorant but I cant be bothered reading through the previous 53 pages of introductions before posting my own
Im Sam, I live in New Zealand Ive been an electrical engineer (electrician) for the last 10 years but have always been interested on electronics..
After stumbling across daves video blog on youtoube it has rekindled my interest in electronics. I plan to do an electronics engineering degree (study from home) starting next year..
Anyways I dont want to carry on and on so I'll leave it there.

I'm Chris from the USA. After being away from electronics for a number of years, I'm doing some circuit and PCB design and PIC programming now as a hobby. I'm currently working on a solar powered LED lighting system for my home. I also do a bit of watercolor painting when I have the time. I've enjoyed reading the posts here and I'm happy to join you all as a member.

Hi there, I'm coming from Eastern Europe but currently [temporarily] located in Germany. I have a former EE education, Bachelor Degree, but it's really that: formal, since I've done high-level programming most of my useful life.
Currently doing some small open hardware/software projects and slowly growing the home lab.

Hello from a Electronic Engineer borrowed to IT world, as I sometimes describe myself.
I studied EE and practiced it as hobbyist at that time, but then I got job in computer area, so I can count the number of times I used my soldering iron in last 10 years on the legs of a Z80
Recently I "rediscovered" my hobby and with it also this fantastic EEVblog.
Cheers!

Hi, my name is Eric Wasatonic, electrical lab supervisor at Penn State Harrisburg, where I have a huge lab with all kinds of new and old goodies to play with and lots of projects to work on in my spare time. Also completing my master's project in which I investigate differences between spark gap and solid state Tesla coils.
Just spent the entire summer listening to all AmpHours from the beginning and watching most of Dave's videos. Recently got an AmpHour episode 116 shout-out for my YouTube channel
https://www.youtube.com/user/ElectronicTonic156 (Thanks Chris & Dave!!).
I look forward to discussing and sharing more projects and ideas.

My name is Clark Snelgrove and I work as a test engineer for Nuvotronics in Radford, VA. We are an R&D company where manufacture using our proprietary Polystrata technology microwave circuits. We make an air dielectric coaxial line ~500 microns wide and can thus shrink traditional microwave frequency circuits to very small dimensions without suffer the problems of microstrip. We can get insertion losses almost as good as waveguide from a few GHz up to 330 GHz.
I was formally trained as a physicist and spent more than twenty years as an educator. electronics and test have always been interests/hobbies of mine so when I left teaching this has become a nice fit. My biggest challenge is that much of the work that I do I am self taught on since much of the microwave test equipment that I used was introduced after I got my bachelor's degree 27+ years ago. I hope that this forum will help me be in touch with those of you that are more recently trained and more familiar with some of the current test equipment.
thanks

Hello all. I'm a semi-retired electronics and embedded systems designer in Sydney, Australia. Happened upon this interesting forum just now while googling for a manual, found the 'show off your workspace' thread. Can't resist - will post some pics there in a few moment.
In the meantime, a few odds and ends. No, I don't bother maintaining my web space in any rational order. It's mostly just a temporary filespace for passing things to friends.

Ha ha ha... I've no idea why you would be thinking that.
