An exposé of my addiction to two engrossing pastimes, Microwave Ham Radio and Machining. How a Bridgeport mill, Colchester Lathe, Fusion 360 and simulation tools collide in a perfect storm of awesomeness when I use it to make my own antennas, feeds, mounts and other amateur radio hardware.
This is the core of a lecture I gave to the Radio Society of Great Britain Convention in October 2021
