Featured Topic: SDR Technology Trends in Amateur Radio, with Bob Nagy (AB5N)


 

As you probably know Bob Nagy (AB5N) has published many videos on the
Internet on a variety of topics. Some may know him for his upgrade
modifications to Icom, Yaesu, Elecraft & Xiegu microphones.  Based on the
many, many videos I have viewed regarding SDR technology, Bob easily stands
out as the best person for explaining SDR technology in lay terms.  He is
superb at boiling down the basic design concepts and re-stating them in a
digestible format.  Bob was licensed in New York City (NYC) at the age of 16
and has been on the air every day since 1971.  Bob migrated from NYC to
Austin, Texas after studies at New York Institute of Technology.  There, he
worked on early digital phone technology developments, and eventually moved
to join the University of Texas (UT).   At UT he built one-off laboratory
devices and he spent a few years under grant at NASA Houston and Cape
Canaveral to support STS 93, the 95th launch of the Space Shuttle and the
26th launch of Columbia.  In his spare time, Bob built 3 broadcast stations
in Austin which survive to this day. He also designed and hand-built a solar
system that powered his home in Austin; he eventually sold it to retire at
age 48 to Hot Springs, Arkansas.  Since his arrival in Hot Springs, Bob has
built another solar-powered FM radio station, and he runs a small ham radio
company specializing in ham radio accessories.  Bob is also an instructor at
the Innovative Technology Center in Hot Springs. (Drones and Solar
technology).  With the time that he has left, Bob also teaches Russian and
plays in a polka band, as well. His wife, Karen, is N5PQU.
