I had a love for DX AM skip and was facinated by propagation. My love for radio extended into college as I was voted "Station Manager" for KFJC (the college radio station) then worked toward obtaining my Federal Communications Commission issued First Class Radiotelephone License. I then worked my way into a career of broadcast engineering for a couple of 50KW AM radio staions located in Boston, MA (WBZ-AM and WRKO-AM) and moved to the west coast to work at KNBR-AM in San Francisco. I left commercial broadcasting to start two companies, one was in Industrial Security and corporate radio commuications which brought on clients like American Airlines for ground communications. I pioneered the first solar system I installed on the roof of the internation terminal at San Francisco International Airport for a low power repeater. I now spend my time working with my wife to publish her first novel of a trillogy named "Dominion"which will be published as an e-book soon and having fun chasing DX. More details later.
