I started
North Country Radio in 1975 as a TV and CB 2 way radio repair organization,
after moving to the country. The business did TV and CB radio
repair and installation, as well as handling warranty service and "dogs"
from other local shops unable to do these repairs. I also did various
consulting jobs in RF circuit design and other analog and digital circuitry,
and taught a course in electronics. I closed this shop in 1984 to do
full time consulting. In 1986 myself and the late Rudolf F Graf got
together and wrote a construction article for Radio Electronics Magazine.
We decided to offer kits and then went full time into writing articles
and providing kits. We also wrote two books on video scrambling and
descrambling, and co-authored several electronic circuits books. This
eventually became a full time occupation and Mr Graf and myself wrote
many articles, many of which are posted on this website. They were published
in
Radio Electronics, Modern Electronics, Electronics Now, Popular Electronics
and QST magazine. Through the 1990s and the first few years of the new
century we did much of this work. Originally we had a sales office in
New Rochelle NY and did the engineering at my lab in upstate New York.
We got on the web in 1996 and starting selling kits and finished items
online as well as mail order. Mr Graf passed away in 2004 and the entire
facility relocated to my PO Box 200 Hartford NY office, where I continue
to operate the business. Many changes have come to pass since the kit
business started back in 1986. Computers, the internet, and the "digital
revolution" to name just a few. We continue to improve and still
offer many of these original kits and assembled items, and while it
is getting harder to obtain certain parts, we still have manyt of our
original items available. All kits are well documented and supported,
and we get very few support and "help"calls as a result. Most
of our kits have appeared in published articles and all have been well
tested and proven. The available kits are listed in categories
shown on our home page, and within reason, can
build custom items using them in modified form. |
