This is the golden age of electronic experimentation.
I wholeheartedly agree.? I've designed three PCBs for antennas (two baluns and a T-match tuner) in kicad in the last few months.? Building and troubleshooting my QMX has brought me closer to buying my own oscilloscope, and I'm considering doing a run of kits using the affordable PCB assembly services now available to us all.? It is definitely a good time to be in the hobby :)
