Hamtronics

Basic Electronics for the Ham

A series of topics to help the ham study electronics principles.

It is sponsored by Sunlife Amateur Radio Club of Mesa, AZ.

Several White Papers cover parts of the topics on this site.These are in Microsoft Word format (doc or docx format).

The first is a 50+ page document called Basic Electronics.

This is used in my college level course to cover many of the topics in the first few PowerPoints.

Basic Electronics White Paper

As this page is in a year long development stage, some of the topic areas are not compete. This will be filled out as time allows.

Many of the topics were or will be subjects for presentations at the club.

This began when the club moved from on site meeting to Zoom because of the Covid-19 situation.
