A collector who owns several telephone exchanges, among other things. He's recently restored the Glen Prosen 1950s exchange, which had apparently been sitting in a hut at the top of the glen until 2009 or so...

From the earliest ones to the present. It's nice to see that people are now making replacement CPU boards for the older systems so you can use a more modern chess engine...

uBITX -A compact HF transceiver edit / delete
Applying the BITX philosophy (good performance out of absurdly cheap parts) to a multiband SSB radio. The trick here is using an Si oscillator chip that can provide three separate outputs -- so you can do things like switching sidebands by tweaking one oscillator either side of the final filter frequency. Very neat!
