Masscon 2010 - proceedings (0900)

Author: Dave - KZ1O March 23, 2010 Duration: 0:00


This is the second presentation that we listened to during the Masscon 2010 event in Westford, MA USA during the weekend of March 12-13, 2010.

The only way to appreciate the full effect was to be sitting in the audience. However, you can get an idea of what it was like if you listen to this, while watching the overhead slides from the talk, which are available from www.masscon.org.

Dave Siegrist NT1U and Bruce Beford N1RX discuss the design and construction and testing of RF filters.

Conference materials can be found here.

Ever feel like your free time could be more interesting? That's the space where 99 Hobbies lives. Hosted by Dave-KZ1O, this podcast digs into the idea that a single pursuit, like Ham Radio, is actually a gateway to countless other projects and passions. Each episode is a conversation with someone who has stepped off the beaten path to try something genuinely unusual, whether it's a craft, a game, a technical experiment, or an offbeat skill. You'll hear the real stories behind these activities-not just the polished results, but the messy, fun, and sometimes frustrating process of learning something new. The focus is always on the accessible side of curiosity; these are things you can realistically do, too, if the spark catches. This isn't about passive listening, but about finding a nudge to start your own next project. By exploring how one hobby branches into many, the podcast reveals how interconnected our interests can be and how a bit of tinkering in one area often leads to surprising discoveries in another. Tune in for regular doses of inspiration from everyday people who decided to follow a quirky idea and see where it led them.
