Post something about electronic design.

With all the chip shortages I decided to build the next computer out of discretes. Got a fair number of relays on the shelves, and figured a good voltage pulse could speed em up. I\'m finding they break down around 1kV, but my maths reckons I need more zeroes to get them doing a gigahertz. Any suggestions for getting them to survive a couple of megavolts?

That\'s hilarious, in a way you probably didn\'t intend.

Measure the characteristics of interest with a VNA and design some
compensating circuits. Owen Duffy (owenduffy.net) did that sort of thing.
