Additional Information
Experience:
I'll describe myself as a "Jack of all trades and master of none" which means formally educated in Engineering Technology and Electronics Technology. Machine shop skills.

I like to fix high power stuff: 100 kV at 0.1 amp, or 30 Kv at 1.5A or 1000 KW RF transmitters and audio amplifiers.

Hands on in many numerous areas including ones I'm not formally trained in. My knowledge will tend to conflict with others, but it can be shown to be accurate. For instance, the conductance of a piece of paper varies depending on moisture content.

Self-taught with basic principles as a foundation.
