About Turn Island Systems

Turn Island Systems LLC consists of Paul Elliott (WB6CXC) and Steve Roberts (N4RVE), along with a few other friends who sometimes pitch in. We are life-long technologists, having begun practicing our craft while in elementary school.

We design stuff because we enjoy it, and generally design it because we have a need for some particular function. Sometimes these designs are useful to others, and these are the ones that show up here on the Turn Island Systems website.
