You can add my name to the long list of readers that will miss Owen Duffy's blog. There is a lot of misinformation on the Web when it comes to RF topics and many of his posts were a well written technical rebuttal to many of these myths and falsehoods. His treatise of a given topic was always backed up with facts, example calculations and graphics. His online calculators were very useful and unfortunately no longer available.
Owen reads this group's messages and he had a particular interest in how to get the most out of a NanoVNA. Many posts were about getting accurate results and methods to achieve this. His other contributions were his modifications and bug fixes to the NanoVNA app (which OneOfEleven donated to the community). He also corresponded with DiSlord and suggested improvements to the firmware which enhanced the NanoVNA feature set.
On a personal level we communicated several times via email and I enjoyed the technical exchange. I appreciated his expertise and the mentoring that he provided to me.
Publishing a blog that is technically accurate and has useful articles takes considerable time and effort. There is also the financial cost associated with keeping a domain name. I guess after many years he felt it was time to move on to other interests. Owen you will be missed.
