Episode 458 – Ulrich Rohde – N1UL

Picture
Dr. Ulrich Rohde, N1UL,  is a trailblazer in the world of RF oscillator and receiver design. Throughout the past four decades, N1UL has penned more than 60 articles for esteemed publications like QST and QEX magazines. Not only that, but he has also contributed to the field through his books, academic papers, and various articles. Dr. Rohde continues to impact on his family business, the Munich-based Rohde and Schwarz test equipment company, as well as on amateur radio manufacturers such as Icom where he played a key role in the design of the IC-7850.  Ulrich Rohde was featured in this month’s QST magazine, and N1UL is my QSO Today.
