Electronics Manufacturing in New York City -- Limor Fried and Adafruit
(video) -- "TRUST YOUR TECHNOLUST"

Posted: 11 May 2022 06:19 AM PDT http://soldersmoke.blogspot.com/2022/05/electronics-manufacturing-in-new-york.html


The Radio Gods seem to be directing my attention to my hometown: New York
City.
I was recently in the city, observing the placement of various IBEW -
WYKSYKDS stickers. And as I work on my old Hammarlund HQ-100 I note that
both the HQ-100 and I may have been produced on Manhattan island at about
the same time (me definitely, but the HQ-100 may have been built in Mars
Hill NC).
This morning Jim W4JED reminded me that Limor Fried, MIT Engineer and
founder of Adafruit, is producing a lot of amazing electronics items right
in NYC, on Manhattan Island, down in Chelsea. Thanks Jim. FB Limor!
Watch the above video. I really liked the sign Limor has above her
workbench:
"TRUST YOUR TECHNOLUST."
Indeed. Back to the HQ-100. This IS a case of technolust. I'm not quite satisfied with the alignment. And it bugs me. I technolust for perfect alignment. (Steve Silverman -- I think we should add technolust to the
SS lexicon.)
