Greetings!

Enjoy HF and VHF contesting, QSL via direct, buro, or LOTW. I monitor 21070.0 (PSK-31) and report stations heard using PSKREPORTER, a downloadable program for Linux/Windows that works like CWSKIMMER, a reverse-beacon network monitoring and reporting tool. See December 2011 QST page 70 for more info. The website is http://www.w1hkj.com and http://pskreporter.info/pskmap.html for the real-time spots overlaid on a world map.

During 1997-1999 while working at Alpha/Power (now RFconcepts) as dev engineer I created the Alpha 99 prototype amp, a reverse-engineering effort from the 91B. Moved into production in mid-1999.

Licensed in 1980 (KA1EQL) while a H.S. sophmore in southeastern Conn. Moved to CO in 1991 to pursue a career in data network design and operation. After various positions at Boulder research labs and CU, I am now working as a Network Architect/consultant on assignment at various locations around Boulder and Denver.

I've replaced the lamps in the tuner with bright green LED's.
