Science/Engineering/Technical forums

please tell us a bit about yourself!!

I'm very new to admin so this has been a bit of a journey

Hi,

Thanks John, for getting me registered. I have lurked here for a very long time and have benefited from some of the information Doug and others have posted. So firstly, let me express my sorrow at Dougs passing. I am sure he is missed by everyone who knew him.

Secondly, in response to Donovan Ready's post about wanting to see some activity here - I agree. It would be a pity for the forum to fade away. There is useful and interesting stuff here and it would be good for people to add to it. So finally I got around to registering.

I am originally from NZ, but have lived in the UK for a long time. My interest is primarily in electronics, having worked in datacoms, over PSTN, GSM, radio, satellites and fibre. I design and manufacture equipment for various industries. I also have an interest in alternative energy - Dougs off grid living posts were always informative. As an adjunct to other activities, I also do a little machining. Hopefully I will post on some of the things that were inspired by the Coulters Smithing website in the not too distant future.

Regards to all,

DavidR

Hi John,
In the edit profile, the user name cannot be changed (for me at least). If you can edit it to David Ramsden, please do. Thanks and Regards,
