Brittany KF8IJZ received an Arduino kit with many sensors and addons for Christmas and is starting to get familiar with the microcontroller and its capabilities.  Mark KR6ZY joins us to answer the fundamental question of “What is Arduino?” We talk through some fundamentals and some practical examples of projects one can complete with an Arduino compatible microcontroller.

​We are proud to announce that Jeremy’s Wife Brittany, Mrs. IJZ, is now KE8LCA! She has already filed a vanity application for KF8IJZ. She joins us this week to talk through some questions from the current Technician question pool around electronics and antenna characteristics. This is also our final show of calendar year 2018. Thank you each and every one of our listeners for making the show possible through your support and engagement. We look forward to a great 2019!

We are very sorry to share that Dave Shoaf, KG6IRW, from Elecraft, who was our guest on the RF Power Amplifier episode (https://www.hamradioworkbench.com/podcast/hf-amplifiers), passed away. Dave was a very experienced and knowledgeable ham and a great guest. Our thoughts are with Dave’s family and our friends at Elecraft.

Brittany would like to thank Dan KB6NU for his No Nonsense Technician Study Guide - available for FREE here - https://www.kb6nu.com/study-guides/

​It started as a normal episode - We invited Rod Hardman VA3ON and John Jacobs W7DBO (of the Field Radio Podcast) on to talk Holiday Shopping for Hams - one of our most favorite episodes to do each year.  During this session, we showed no restraint whatsoever because we were at the 4 hour mark when we stopped recording!  While we know you generally like long episodes, we thought we’d split this one into two parts. In part 2, we cover Ham Radio accessories and gifts for your Workbench.

​George KJ6VU is away at Pacificon so Nick KN6NK stops by to deep dive on Solar Power fundamentals.  We talk about understanding your power requirements, sizing your batteries, and how to factor your solar production needs.  We also talk about solar charge controllers to tie it all together. Jeremy KF7IJZ also gives a basic overview of Ubiquiti Unifi networking equipment.
