His focus is on analog electronics, audio, shortwave radio&#8217;s, small (solar) energy systems and measurement and control systems. He is the author of &#8220;Retro Radio&#8221;, Isbn 978-90-5381-234-1, published by Elektor International Media in the Netherlands. In this book (Dutch text) you will find several simple schematics from Shortwave radio&#8217;s (2 MHz &#8211; 16 MHz), including radio&#8217;s with SSB reception. His long time knowledge about small audio systems (for household use) is available in his book &#8220;Schematics 2, audio amplifiers and loudspeaker boxes &#8220;, available on this website (a summary of the content is visible). Also in an E-book format: Isbn 978-1-4475-7336-4. In the past (2008-2010) he was active on You Tube under the name &#8220;radioam232&#8221;, now he is active on Youtube as &#8220;radiofun232&#8221;.
