Bob,
Do you ever get to Maker Faire in San Mateo?? For about six years we have been presenting "Not Your Grandpa's Ham Radio" there.? Maybe you've been by our booth??? If you HAVEN'T been to the Faire you really need to go -- and that goes for ALL hams who are interested in homebrewing.? Of course, Arduino and "Arduino Projects for Amateur Radio" have been a big part of what we present.? The idea is to get non-hams interested in the more modern aspects of ham radio.? We aren't just a bunch of old guys in our rocking chairs talking about our ailments on 75 M phone!
If you are going to Pacificon, I will be doing a pitch there on Maker Faire -- trying to get more hams involved, showing off the non-traditional aspects of our hobby.?
On a side note, I met Jack through presenting a project at a Maker Faire forum at San Mateo a few years back.? I was approached by one of his publishers to co-author the Arduino Projects book, and the rest, as they say, is history!?
BTW -- I agree wholeheartedly with your comment on Jack!!!? I am? forever grateful that we hooked? up on our projects.
