David VK5DGRdavid_2015

I’m David Rowe, an electronic engineer living in Adelaide, South Australia. My mission is to improve the world – just a little bit. I do this through developing innovative hardware and software for telephony. This hardware and software can help many people, for example through improved, low cost radio communication for poor people in remote areas of the world. So rather than making money from his technology, I give it away.


Adrian VK5ZBR  vk5zbr

I got my ham ticket when I was 17 years old in 1987. My first ham radio was a IC02A. Today I love to restore old radios and build antennas.  I still find building a radio from ground up very exciting.
