What Inspired You to Make This?
There are several projects and several inspirations. The 10 GHz ham radio system was inspired by a desire to work on a new challenge of microwave radio modification and construction. My electronic sculpture called "Inventory Reduction" was inspired by the large number of parts in my garage, workshop and lab.
