I thought it was about Ms. Fried. hehe.
P.S. the resistor captcha is hard to read the red/orange and grey/white(?) and the percentage is incredibly hard.
P.p.s. Failed #1
Thanks for sharing this. I had no idea she was responsible for frequency hopping. It’s something used extensively on one of the Radars I work on, and it’s cool to get a better understanding of where the idea originated.
