I am a keen radio amateur and I hold the callsign M0BLP. Currently I operate on wavelengths of 2m, 70cm, 23cm and 3cm and can sometimes be found on the HF 40 and 80m bands. At AT&T Laboratories Cambridge I helped to run the club station G7ORL which hosted the TCP/IP packet station GB7ALC. Since the demise of AT&T Laboratories Cambridge GB7ALC has been relocated to the Lab for Communications Engineering Cambridge University Engineering Department. I am also chairman of the Cambridge & District Amateur Radio Club.

I play a Stephen Hill guitar, made in 1992. On rare occasions I've played in public as a member of the Eastfields Guitar Quartet.

Computing

        At home I experiment with Debian Linux running on an AMD Athlon processor. Amongst other things, this system is used for experimenting with amateur packet radio using TCP/IP.

I love skiing. My last trip was to Val Thorens, France earlier this year with that fine bunch of people from the St Albans Sub Aqua Club.
