Hi! I am someone who has managed to find their way into gopher and SDF through some bored browsing. This set of pages is an attempt to learn more about gopher through writing about some things I enjoy. To gain my fun tokens, I design electronic control systems for various types of propulsion systems. This makes electronics boring as it is the day job. To counter this, I took my amateur radio licence and went from no licence to a full licence in a year. My call sign is M0SUD and I tend to play with digital modes and antennas. Sumo is a strange but thrilling sport which I love to watch. I started watching in 2018 by catching a video on Youtube. There is a huge amount to learn but it is rewarding. There is a great deal of drama as well through a strict level system. There are several ways to watch both legal and not strictly legal. The Japanese national broadcaster, NHK has an English language programme which can be caught on demand. However, this tends to be a day or so after the fun. As a result, less legal options provide a better service. NattoSumo is a favourite as they offer enhanced statistics along with some text commentary but Japanese audio commentary. Jason Sumo is a great choice for select matches with great commentary. My favourite seikitori (wrestler) is hard to pin down. I tend to have a roster of seikitori who I cheer for. However, Enho is always a favourite to watch. He is small in stature but huge in fighting spirit. His stature means he has to try using more than brute strength and mass to win.
