Question

1.) What is your major field of expertise and how did you become interested in it? 2.) What suggestions do you have for students who wish to become involved in your field of study?

Answer

April, My major field of expertise is electronics. I became interested in it when my Dad help me build a crystal radio set. We wrapped wire around a toilet paper roll, constructed a simple circuit using the coil as a tuner and from a rock he found in the yard, we could tune in a radio station. It was the most amazing thing and we weren't using a battery. My suggestions for young people interested in electronics is to become involved in a ham radio club.
