G'day, my name is Dale and I live in Adelaide South Australia. I consider myself a geek, tinkerer, and a hacker. I have been using Linux on and off since 1998, but since about 2005 it has been my primary operating system of choice and Debian my preferred distribution, but I using a fork called Devuan at moment as it has no systemd.
I have been into amateur radio for a long time, but only in April 2011 I got my ticket. Also have an interest in tinkering with electronics and collecting World War Two era wireless sets. I am rather fond of the clandestine sets of the era like the ‘Type A Mk III’. I am also fond of the the wireless set WS 122 which is a Australian miltary radio that was produced in 1945 in Adelaide and Melbourne.
Since 2011 I have helped out WICEN with communications for the Scouts RallySA. I also help by promoting Amateur Radio at events like Science Alive, and Adelaide Mini makers Faire.
Since late 2020 I have gotten into some the digital, I have built myself a couple Pi-Star hotspots with MMDVM hats on Raspberry Pi 3B+ to access the DMR networks for Brandmeister and DMR+. I also interested setting up a DMR to YSF.

Setup:
I not have much of a setup at the moment and it all WIP as you can tell from the header image, but I am building on it slowly as time and monies permit.
