Paying the bills

I am currently working at Surrey Satellite Technology (SSTL) in Guildford, UK. Due to the new QTH I am now M0PAK the ham formerly known as ZS1PK. Previously I worked and studied at Stellenbosch University in sunny South Africa.

After an engineering degree with way too little wine, woman and song, I did my masters degree on the Sunsat microsatellite program. My final project was on the S-band QPSK demodulator for Sunsat 1.
