My interest in electronic started when I was as small as my daughter in this photo! However, It took very long till I could make a crystal set or a one valve TX!!.
Every person I knew, just did not help me. They were not ready (or perhaps not in such a position) to give me a simple circuit of a single valve transmitter/oscillator!! Any way, I continued my struggle and by 16, I already made several projects. I got my first license when I was 19. The call sign was VU2DJZ. Soon, within 6 months, I got Grade-1 license with call sign VU2FD and got advance grade, when that license was introduced by the Government. It was ham radio which led me to commercial wireless field, and in 1974 I passed Certificate of Competency in Wireless Telegraphy (Maritime Mobile) and joined Shipping Corp of India as a Radio Officer. From 1976 to 1999. I worked with 3 different companies in Germany, Greece and Singapore as a marine wireless officer. I always enjoyed working onboard ship, because work for me was always hobby. I am making an effort here to present a small amount of material that I have for young and old. It should be useful. I hope, lots of people use it & develop themselves. Later, I wish to put here a lots of projects that I have built myself during the period of 30 years, once things are ready in presentable form.Regards/VU2FD | |||||
