“The Origins of Silicon Valley: Roots in Ham Radio” Video Now Available

“硅谷的起源，业余无线电的根源”视频上线

ARRL 百年国家会议介绍，“硅谷的起源：Ham Radio的根源”，作者Paul Wesling，KM6LH，已编辑成视频，现在可在YouTube上观看。

毕业于斯坦福大学的Wesling是IEEE / CPMT社会杰出讲师，2001年从Hewlett Packard退休，然后担任IEEE的旧金山湾区理事会通信主任10年。

据Wesling介绍：该视频描述了在20世纪初发生在旧金山海港的有趣事件，早期收音机正在研发，随后火腿们设计了新的装置和设备以解决在太平洋的船舶通讯的问题，在即将爆发二次世界大战前夕，他们努力打破东海岸对真空管的垄断，并将无线电频段扩展到微波领域，这成为硅谷的基础。

Wesling说，该视频跟踪早期真空管的发展和湾区业余无线电爱好者的其他贡献，视频还介绍了业余无线电爱好者的精神以及助燃今天的高科技麦加——硅谷的合作者们。视频时长1小时。

The ARRL

 Centennial National Convention presentation, “The Origins of Silicon Valley: Roots in Ham Radio,” by Paul Wesling, KM6LH, has been edited into a video and is now available on YouTube.

“It tells of the interesting events in the maritime port of San Francisco at the turn of the 20th century, as early radio was being developed, and follows the hams who designed new devices and equipment to address steamship traffic plying the Pacific Ocean,” Wesling said. “Their efforts to break the east coast monopoly on tubes and to extend radio into the microwaves as the country approached World War II form the basis for what became Silicon Valley.”

Wesling said the presentation traces early vacuum tube development and other contributions by Bay Area amateurs, “and the continuing spirit of hobbyists and collaborators that fuel today’s high-tech mecca.” The presentation runs about 1 hour.

A graduate of Stanford University, Wesling, a IEEE/CPMT Society Distinguished Lecturer, retired from Hewlett Packard in 2001, and then served for 10 years as Communications Director for the IEEE’s San Francisco Bay Area Council.
