=Images=
I've uploaded a few rather dull, technical images. I release all my own images under the GFDL because the choices of everything else are too bewildering. If you'd like a technical image made, I can probably make it given a little time:

What I want to do
Write these articles properly (in no particular order):
- MIMO
- Space–time trellis code
- Differential space–time code, but they're so messy I probably never will
- Narrowband
- Wideband
- Fading
- Fix :Category:Telecommunications and its children. They make my eyes water.
Work out whether frequency spectrum is really talking about the discrete Fourier transform and if some arrangement can be reached between those two and spectral density.
Get involved in some non-technical articles. I think I might be able to do some useful copy-editing of articles related to British politics and political systems.
