I was first licensed in 1964 as WN2RBG in upstate New York and up graded to general during my 1 year novice term. I am currently active on HF with my primary activity on CW, along with some QRP operation. I also enjoy VHF weak signal operation on 6 & 2 meters using CW, SSB, and the WSJT modes. I enjoy the wide range of propagation modes available on VHF, and have become active on 2M meteor scatter, and EME on a regular basis.

On 2M EME, my station is very modest by EME standards, but I have been very pleased with my results thus far. I run 500 watts to 2 X 12 element K1FO 2.5WL yagis with H polz. I have completed over 375 EME QSO's with 178 different stations around the world. The EME community has been very helpful in assisting myself and other modest newcomers in their very exciting world. With my current 2M station I have a total of 51 DXCC countries, 49 states, and all 6 continents for WAC using all modes of propegation including EME, scatter, tropo, and aurora.

After a long career in the process automation and control systems industry, I turned my interests to professional investment management, and continue to use my priorengineering background as a strong resource in helping me to understand investment opportunities. I am employed by a major international investment managment company.
