The Current Source recently released a video about radioactivity, Geiger counters, and Derek’s battle with Thyroid cancer. (Great news, he’s now cancer free!)

On this day in 2008 I created my first post on a brand new website. The site looked a lot different back then, and it wasn’t until the following year that I shipped my first electronic kit, the HV Rescue Shield! Today marks ten years of MightyOhm.

Elektor, publisher of the well-known European electronics magazine, is now selling the MightyOhm Geiger Counter kit in their webstore.
The 37th annual Mike and Key ARC Electronics Show and Flea Market is just under two weeks away.
I have no affiliation with Mike and Key, but in my opinion this is the best electronics swap meet in the greater Seattle area. I go every year. (If you know of others, post in the comments!)
The Mike and Key flea market will take place on Saturday, March 10th at the Washington State Fairgrounds in Puyallup. Doors open at 9AM (earlier for sellers). I’m looking forward to meeting other PNW electronics and ham radio folks there. I have a seller table again this year so I should be pretty easy to find. I’ll be selling a few kits along with ham radio gear and miscellaneous electronics.
Mike and Key hosts ham radio exams during the swap meet, so if you’re interested in getting a ham radio license this is one opportunity. More details on the event flyer.
