SolderSmoke is the story of a secret, after-hours life in electronics.
Bill Meara started out as a normal kid, from a normal American town.
But around the age of 12 he got interested in electronics, and he has
never been the same.

To make matters worse, when he got older he became a diplomat.
His work has taken him to Panama, Honduras, El Salvador, the Spanish
Basque Country, the Dominican Republic, the Azores islands of
Portugal, London, and, most recently, Rome. In almost all of these
places his addiction to electronics caused him to seek out like-minded
radio fiends, to stay up late into the night working on strange
projects, and to build embarrassingly large antennas above innocent
foreign neighborhoods.

SolderSmoke takes you into the basement workshops and electronics
parts stores of these exotic foreign places, and lets you experience
the life of an expatriate geek. If you are looking for restaurant or
hotel recommendations, look elsewhere. But if you need to know where
to get an RF choke re-wound in Santo Domingo, SolderSmoke is the book
for you.

SolderSmoke is no ordinary memoir. It is a technical memoir. Each
chapter contains descriptions of Bill’s struggles to understand
(really understand) radio-electronic theory. Why does P=IE? Do holes
really flow through transistors? What is a radio wave? How does a
frequency mixer produce sum and difference frequencies? If these are
the kinds of questions that keep you up at night, this book is for
you.
