User:Old Technician

An electronics technician for the USN for 24 years (retired) then a test technician and later a test engineer for DRS technologies, I have a lot of experience in tube technology (anyone out there remember those), general purpose test equipment, semiconductor technology, automated testing, soldering and wire wrap, reverse engineering from schematics, advanced test equipment, troubleshooting, breadboarding and basic circuit design, and the design and implementation of electronic and environmental testing. I would like to either design or help implement a course of study for electronic hobbyists. I am frequently asked about how one goes about learning all the skills needed to salvage or repair old electronics, design a simple circuit and see it work, and so on.
