What background knowledge is needed to solve a physics-related hobby problem?

How did you find PF?

Google via search for "physics forum"

I'm a new member and am following the directions to post an introduction.

I am a computer data center guy that deals mostly with computer hardware, power and cooling, along with some networking and very light programming. My undergrad physics classes were a long time ago, and I've come for help with a problem (related to a hobby) that I'm having trouble solving.

I don't think I'll be much of a physics resource, but I do know a bit about electronics and radio.

Thanks for letting me join.
