I started in Amateur Radio at a very young age, using a homebrew 6L6
transmitter and a converted Army surplus receiver. I learned electronics
"hands-on" style and enjoy all areas of amateur radio
today--especially CW (I have written 3 books on keys), QRP (2 books), DXing (1
book) and satellites (2 books). I have worked in radio, TV and microwave
engineering, amateur radio marketing and sales, designed several unique
circuits and mini rigs. I taught college electronics and hold 3 degrees in
Applied Electronic Technology plus an Amateur EXTRA class license and Radar
Endorsed FCC First Phone/GROL license. I was an original pioneer in SSTV and
assisted several world areas in becoming operation in video communications. I
wrote my first magazine column on SSTV at age 21, my first full length book
(OSCAR Satellites) at age 23. As of 2006, I have written over 800
articles/columns and 28 books on all aspects of amateur radio.
I now write 3 columns in CQ Magazine plus articles for RadCom of the UK and
other international ham magazines. My latest book (The World of Keys which I
self publish and sell direct by mail)features views and info on CW instruments
like few people have ever seen. In addition to amateur radio, I am presently
researching Quantum Physics, Radio Astronomy and developing several definitive
theories on electronic time travel based on matter transducers, light speed
accelerators and Einstein's theory of relativity. You can e-mail me through CQ
