Hello from Calgary, Canada

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!

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. 🙂

Yeah, that's a little chilly. Not much wind by the looks of it, fortunately.
The humidity is the killer. Makes for pretty hoar frost, though. This is 9th AVE NE, shot about an hour ago.
