Hello all,

Long time lurker of the forums here, finally thought I should get around to registering.

I work as a public servant, currently teaching apprentices how to repair radios, instruments and electro-optics. I've been doing the repair work myself for around 16 years and have just moved into the teaching role.

Hobbies include hunting, mountain bikes, motor bikes, woodworking and electronics - the enthusiasim for any at a given time is often attributed to the funds in the bank account!

Currently living in Featherston and commute over the hill to work during the week.

Thanks and Hi!

I am PeterReader, the Geekzone Robot. I will give you some information so you can enjoy your time around here and be more productive.

There are many features around this forum. If you want to get the best out of Geekzone, check our Geekzone Guide.

People around here can be funny. When reading a comment don't take it personally as everyone here knows we should always attack arguments not the people behind them. But if you see some sarcastic jokes, it happens. With time you will see there are lots of people who post around the forums in a variety of topics. Those more frequent posters help us make sure the community is safe.
