I don't remember his callsign, but he had an electronics and Ham Radio channel on Youtube for at least 8 years. A few weeks ago, it disappeared without a trace. Anyone hear anything about how he's doing?
No, he lives in Ohio and is also into electric guitars, lives by himself (his son went off to college recently), and he used to fly planes before his health grounded him. His channel was very down-to-earth. I followed his channel for some time -- I just wonder what happened. https://web.archive.org/web/20240408201639/https://www.youtube.com/@learnelectronics I know he was having issues with Youtube lately (basically the platform is crashing; everyone is watching their revenue dwindle down to nothing). But he never hinted he was going to totally quit, much less take down his whole channel. I hope he's all right.
People take down their YT channels all the time. He probably just decided he didn't want to do it anymore. Just a guess - but this would certainly explain why he's gone. Not someone I followed so no clue otherwise... Dave W7UUU
Someone has asked the same question on Reddit as well: https://www.reddit.com/r/AskElectronics/comments/1f7j2qo/learnelectronics_youtube_channel/
Is this the channel you meant: https://www.youtube.com/@learnelectronics/. I can see it live here. Was it temporarily offline? 73
He stated a number of times in his videos that he had Congestive Heart Failure. (Which was the reason he had swollen hands) That condition can be very exhausting. I hope it didn’t get worse! BTW, his call sign is WW8PR. I worked him on 20m on FT8. Anyway, just thought I’d throw in my 2 cents.
Hope that he well get well soon. Is this the channel you meant: https://www.youtube.com/@learnelectronics/? Last video was 4 months ago. 73
His YouTube channel is not gone… However you are correct in that he has not posted anything in awhile…4 months to be exact. I have watched some of his stuff in the past. He seemed pretty knowledgeable. I have no idea what happened to him and I didn’t know he had beef with YouTube. For what it is worth, it appears he is still active making QSOs on the air, per his log here on QRZ.
