We are a group of like-minded people who enjoy technolgy and radio. When we get home from work we build things, experiment with electronics, radios and antennas. We would rather program a computer than play a game on one. We build equipment and then use that device to communicate with others around the globe (and in space) often times with no Internet involved. We think it is amazing that with a little training, it is possible to hang a piece of speaker wire out of a window and hear (and talk to) a radio station 7,000 miles away. We think 3D printers and laser cutters are cool. We know there are computer operating systems other than Windows and Mac and use them daily. We enjoy using our skills (modest as they are) to improve things and help people. We believe technology provides a tremendous opportunity for those who take the time to understand how it works. We know first hand the basic fundamentals are not as complicated as many believe and those basic building blocks can easily be taught. We passionately believe having an understanding of technology provides more opportunities for individuals than those without.
