Hey Jeff...how are you doing?

I designed and built a Geiger counter as an EE student project, back in the
1960's. It used the (then) all-new silicon transistors in the HV power
supply and meter driver!

Cheers for now, 73,

I'm guilty of both (ham radio and astronomy) also. My other hobbies are
bluegrass music (playing in a bluegrass band as well as listening), target
shooting, Geiger counters, and history. I suspect most would view at least
several of my hobbies as geeky. I certainly enjoy them though!
