Steve
Lubbers (KE8FP@arrl.net) started his budding electronics
career during the days of “Ciarcia’s Circuit Cellar”
when he designed an 8080-based computer for a high
school science fair. He was most recently employed
by a struggling automotive parts supplier where he
programmed onboard electronics for luxury automobiles.
