SolderSmoke ebook free on Amazon The *SolderSmoke* ebook by radio amateur *Bill
Meara N2CQR/M0HBR* is available for free download on Amazon
The book is in Kindle format and requires the Kindle Reading App to be
installed on your mobile device or PC.
SolderSmoke is the story of a secret, after-hours life in electronics.
Bill Meara started out as a normal kid, from a normal American town.
But around the age of 12 he got interested in electronics, and he has never
been the same.
To make matters worse, when he got older he became a diplomat.
His work has taken him to Panama, Honduras, El Salvador, the Spanish Basque
Country, the Dominican Republic, the Azores islands of Portugal, London,
and, most recently, Rome. In almost all of these places his addiction to
electronics caused him to seek out like-minded radio fiends, to stay up
late into the night working on strange projects, and to build
embarrassingly large antennas above innocent foreign neighborhoods.
SolderSmoke takes you into the basement workshops and electronics parts
stores of these exotic foreign places, and lets you experience the life of
an expatriate geek. If you are looking for restaurant or hotel
recommendations, look elsewhere. But if you need to know where to get an RF
choke re-wound in Santo Domingo, SolderSmoke is the book for you.
SolderSmoke is no ordinary memoir. It is a technical memoir. Each chapter
contains descriptions of Bill’s struggles to understand (really understand)
radio-electronic theory. Why does P=IE? Do holes really flow through
transistors? What is a radio wave? How does a frequency mixer produce sum
and difference frequencies? If these are the kinds of questions that keep
you up at night, this book is for you.
