Geoffrey Mendenhall, W8GNMs, early interest in electronics, germanium transistors, and later high power triodes led him to a career, as an engineer, designing, building, and managing broadcast transmitters projects for Gates Radio and later Harris Broadcast. Geoff made a presentation in the last QSO Today Virtual Ham Expo on Beverage Antennas, urging us to try building Beverages even if conditions are not optimal, and being surprised by the result. W8GNM is my QSO Today. https://www.qsotoday.com/podcasts/W8GNM
FM Broadcasting today is pretty much all of Geoff’s work… the two-speed FM Exciter? That was Geoff. Brilliant.
