Episode 117: Interview with Alan Wolke - Undulating Utensil Utility - The Amp Hour Electronics Podcast

[display_podcast]

Alan started his career helping out in a TV repair shop, servicing the tubes in old TVs
He's also a ham operator, callsign W2AEW, which is also the username on his awesome YouTube account!
And he's helping some local Boy Scout troops earn their merit badge and helping during the Jamboree on the Air (JOTA).
The training will take place on a former part of Camp Evans/Fort Monmouth, which was the former home of the Marconi Wireless company in NJ. Project Diana was also run there, the first time they bounced radio off the moon.
Alan also worked at Lytel, which was a startup back in the early networking/telecom days.
After some stints at Vitesse Semi and Agere Systems, he finally ended up at Tektronix as an RF application engineer, where he still works today. (And now he blogs for them as well!)
Now Alan has a YouTube channel as well, which has many awesome videos, some of our favorites are below:
Dave has a list of things that digital scopes that analog can't do, but all 3 suggest an analog scope to start out.
Alan had a great EEWeb interview which we didn't talk about but is worth reading.
Online, Alan can be found on Twitter at @alanattek. Or his personal website, Dorkage.com.
