I was first licensed in the early 60s as WN2OUK at age 12. Grew up in Long Beach, LI, NY , where I was active with the local radio club and ARES/RACES group. I hold an Extra Class license and FCC First Class Radiotelephone license (now called a GROL).

My activities with the ARRL Field Organization in the Southern Florida Section included serving as the Assistant Section Manager, Affiliated Club Coordinator and District Emergency Coordinator. Previously, I was the Section Technical Coordinator and Section Emergency Coordinator and served on the ARRL National Emergency Response Planning Committee. I am the Vice Director of the Southeastern Division and a former EC and RO for Lee and Palm Beach counties and am certified in all three levels of ARRL ARECC.

I am a life member of the ARRL, QCWA and AWA and a Senior Grade member of the Radio Club of America and the ARRL A-1 Operator Club. Past President of the Fort Myers and West Palm Beach ARC and current member of OOTC, Palms West ARC, North Florida ARS, Wiregrass ARC, Gold Coast ARA , FL & AL Contest Groups, FL East Coast DX Club and life member of the West Palm Beach ARC. I am the Secretary Treasurer of our local Palm Beach Chapter of QCWA and an ARRL CE-VE. I also hold membership in the ARRL Old Timers Club & Royal Order of the Wouff Hong.

Retired after 25 years as the communications supervisor in South Florida for the Florida Division of Forestry. My XYL, Myra, K3PGH and I live in Royal Palm Beach, FL and Dothan, AL. My other interests include restoring antique ham radios, traveling to hamfests, antique cars and radio-TV history. Myra & I also volunteer at the amateur radio exhibit at the South Florida Fair in West Palm Beach.

Look for you on the air or at a hamfest.

Very 73,
