Glad to see you here, Martin! You might introduce yourself to those
people who don't already know you from the OOo list.
Martin has mainly been working on the Draw and Calc guides, so I'm
particularly happy to have him join us here.

Thanks Jean.
By way of introduction, I am an Aussie living and working in Switzerland
with a small engineering consultant. I travel quite a bit for work (and
for pleasure) in Africa, Asia and Europe.
My interests are obviously OOo/LO, and we are an all Linux
household running an assortment of Mint/Ubuntu/OpenSuSE. At work I use
LibreOffice almost exclusively. Gets interesting when collaborating with
MSO users.....
I have set up a bunch of Linux servers in the office for web, email, ftp
etc., at present mostly running Ubuntu 10.04LTS.
As Jean/Hal (!) mentioned, I have been lurking on the OOs list for a
while. My current project is reviewing the Draw Guide for 3.3/3.4.
Other interests outside IT include Amateur Radio, Travel, Archaeology, Art
and dogs.
Hope I can sort out what to do here, guess someone will give me some clues
as to what use I can be.

So, another ham, eh? I got my first ham license from the FCC at age 14
in 1957. Then got the first-class radiophone commercial license while in
high school and afterward worked a dozen years in radio and TV
engineering--chief engineer at commercial radio stations, etc., starting
while in college.
At one 10 KW AM daytimer, where I was its chief engineer back during the
1960s, I would use at night (after broadcast signoff in late afternoon)
its two-tower array (at 1510 KHz) for a 160 or 75 meter phased array for
ham use and would routinely contact other hams in South America (among
other continents) on 75 meter SSB. Those vertical arrays worked FB (fine
business) for ham use, where QSOs (contacts) past a distance of a few
hundred miles was the normal maximum range otherwise.
73,
Gary
