Hi, I am a newly retired software engineer who spent most of his adult lift in the aviation field.
We have a new house in Ashburton where I spend a lot of time in my workshop or playing around with my new playmates at the local aviation museum.
I do not have a deep knowledge in any particular field of science or engineering but I do like to dabble in new things, new to me anyway!

Hi John
We are 80k from Shakeytown and generally free the effects of the shakes, excepting for the old buildings around town, some red stickered but many more facing strengthening or reduction to rubble.
Are you the folks half way up K Gorge? I am ZL2AYQ though It is many years since my filaments felt the hot surge of electrons, I worked HF only and mostly CW, that and going to junque sales of course. I spent a fair bit of time out at Quartz Hill too. We left Wellington early last year.

P.S. Did a bit of yachting too, two of us crossed the blue Pacific in a 32' sloop back in the '70's, going the wrong way starting at Niue.
