Information about me [1]

I worked Oasis Semiconductor, Inc., a fabless semiconductor company which produces various mixed signal (analog/digital) chips used in consumer electronics, until Oasis Semiconductor was purchased SigmaTel, Inc. [2]. Recently, SigmaTel was purchased by Freescale [3].

As a hobby, I hack Stewart Platform machine tools [4]

The name "foxkid" is a variation on my last name, Mikkelsen. When in China in 1982, I wanted to have a chop made with my name. The phoenitic spelling of Mikkelsen was too long, but my grandmother had told me that in the native Danish, "mikkel" meant fox, and "sen" means son-of. Should have been "foxkit", though.

Since then, it's been a general DBA name, and was the logical choice for my domain name.

I'm back into Amateur Radio, with the call sign K1UZK. My son is also licensed as KB1NYQ.
