Hello everyone and thanks for accepting me into the diyAudio community!
I work as a Broadcast Technologist / Electronics Technician at a local college here in Calgary. Before coming to Canada, I was a Telecom Technician, so my career is a diverse one 😉 but basically revolves around electrons! It's same with my hobbies: any DIY electronics, ham-radio, computers, programming, house-fixing, woodworking, ...
diyAudio popped up many times when I was searching inter-webs for a solution to a problem. Finally, decided to join you for my own benefit and also to try and help out other members if it's something that I have some sort of expertise. At the moment i don't have many projects going on. Latest one is tinkering with an old Sony STR-V2 receiver whose amplifier doesn't work any more. Instead of fixing it, idea is to use a class D module as an output amplifier and build an Arduino controlled preamp and audio switch. Prototype of the preamp is in the testing phase, it works. It uses NJW1194 - digital volume and tone control with 4-input switch. Project is going slow a bit, since we are in a house moving mode, which will be over by spring, i hope. Until then, I might not be a very active.
Cheers to everyone and thanks again!

Welcome to diyAudiom :^)
My parents and grandmother lived in Calgary for some time. Went to quit a few Stampeders Handegg games.

Thanks everyone for a warm welcome! (warm is what we need these days in Calgary, sitting at -16 C/ ~3 F right now) 🙂
Indeed.
Maybe we should get together over beers/coffee/whatever one of these days.
@bxt2008 - welcome to diyAudio.

That actually sounds like a good idea, Tom, we should try to pick a pub, maybe north part of SW like Aspen Woods so as to be more central, I am in NW. Please, no politics or religion 🙂
I'm about as central as it gets. Tuxedo Park. Okay, so technically in the Northeast, though only barely.
Two Pillars Brewery on Centre @ 9th NE would be a good option. I like supporting those guys. That was easier when I lived down the block from them. 🙂

The humidity is the killer. Makes for pretty hoar frost, though. This is 9th AVE NE, shot about an hour ago.
