    That’s awesome. But the part that your dad was an RF engineer but never took the time to teach you makes me sad. My dad is an elec tech and some of my fondest memories are of him teaching me electronics.

    I guess the take away is if you have kids make sure to take the opportunity to teach them things you’re passionate about! (As long as they show interest of course)

      Yeah,… my upbringing was not normal. Lots of abuse. So that’s why. If he was healthy and had the support he needed I would have learned! But I think that is why I seeked it out later.

      And YES, if you have kids, absolutely teach them what you know. Don’t force them to keep learning but an introduction is a great idea. Like I wish my parents had taught me how to cook!
