I was first licensed as KN3IHT in 1959 at the age of 10, causing lots of TVI in Johnstown, Pa. Amateur Radio has played an important part of my career and my life. I was previously the President and COO of an Atlanta area satellite communications manufacturing company. I am now doing business development work for a San Diego based company--Pico Digital. (www.picodigital.com)

My wife and I live in what will be our retirement QTH about 100 miles north of Atlanta in the North Georgia mountains. You can usually find me on 3705 +/- every Wed evening at 9PM eastern with a group of old broadcast industry friends. Stop by and say "HI"!

Calls I have had during my ham career include: KN3IHT, K3IHT, W9MDE, W8KQI, N8NM, KG5S, VK2GCW, HB9JBM, and finally---WC4X.

I am active on HF and a little VHF and still favor CW--The only direct digital input to the human brain.

Other activities include long distance bicycle touring, running, and kayaking.
