Here is a picture (33KB) of us receiving the Trowbridge and District Amateur Radio Club constructors cup for the QRP2000. G0XAR is holding the cup, G0BBL is the man in the check shirt and G7PUB is on the right. In the background is the club chairman, Frank G4YXS and the lady is Georgina, widow of Peter, G3BQY, founder member of the club.
My name is Steve Farthing. I am 46 years old and work as a development manager in the IT industry. The least experienced of the team. I hold a Class A Ham radio Licence and am the European Representative for the NORCAL QRP Club.I also belong the the G QRP Club and the RSGB. Other intests are vintage motorcycles and the Greatful Dead.
My name is Jan Verduyn and I have held the UK Callsign G0BBL since 1970. I was first licenced at the age of 17 with the Dutch call PA0VDR. After many years as a Radio Officer in the Merchant Marine I came ashore 10 years ago and embarked on a new career working for Motorola in the Cellular industry. My main interest is Electronic design & Home construction and I have built most types of direct conversion receivers. Other interests are playing Blues and Folk Harmonica and Table Tennis, which I play at local clublevel standard. I am a member of the RSGB and the GQRP Club.
My name is Alan Rowe. I studied electronics at Imperial College, but quickly sold my soul to Programming in
the interests of greater financial gain. I have been
a professional software engineer for almost twenty years now, and specialise in real-time embedded control systems.
In my spare time I am a keen gardener
(when the weather is good) and consumer of alcoholic beverages (regardless of weather). I still keep my hardware
skills finely honed by embarking on ambitious DIY radio projects which never quite work, but luckily my only contribution
to this project was the control software.
