Most of the material on this site is related to amateur radio.

The site was created some years ago to provide up to date addendum and errata for books that I had written but has now been expanded as detailed below.

Note: This site was also a temporary home to the East Preston Silver Surfers Computer Club.

It can now be found by clicking :  http://sites.google.com/site/epsscclub
