Jenny List G7CKF talks about one of her favourite things - Amateur Radio

My introduction to electronics sometime in the 1970s came in the form of the simplest of radios when my dad bought me a copy of George Dobbs’ Making A Transistor Radio and showed me how to build a crystal set. That so few parts could form a working radio that pulled a signal from the air and into my headphones without the need for batteries was enough magic to get a 9-year-old me hooked.

Upgrading it to a germanium transistor regenerative receiver set me on the path that led me through university to an electronic engineering degree, and ultimately to writing here at Hackaday.
