I spent 30 years designing test equipment... at HP of all places, so some of those spectrum analysers, scopes, sig gens and an awful lot of specialised stuff has bits in it I designed. I originated the new family of noise figure analysers which went on sale about 20 years ago, and I did the smart noise sources to go with them.

After Agilent (renamed instruments side of HP) pulled development out of the UK, I spent 14 years working for a start-up avionics firm designing radar transponders and com/nav radios.

So my hobbies and jobs have been somewhat intertwined with the exception of the horses and rally cars.
