Most of our TWiRT family and friends know by now that our co-host, Chris Tobin, passed away last Saturday, December 19, 2020. He was 59 years old. We will do a special TWiRT episode in tribute to Chris within a few days. For now, we’re carrying on with today’s TWiRT episode, as I'm quite sure Chris would have wanted. Rest in Peace in God’s arms, Chris.

Over a month ago we decided to do a Christmas Eve edition of This Week in Radio Tech. John Bisset, agreed to be on the show with us to recall some Christmas engineering memories, chat about Christmas gifts, and think about what’s ahead for radio engineers. Plus, we read and answer some comments from engineers as part of a Christmas Eve giveaway.

Show notes:

* We gave away three of these ONN Surf 7” Android tablets* John mentioned Mouse Magic, the rodent repellent with a minty aroma* We think 2021 will bring more virtualization, such as the Axia iQs
