I have been a ham radio operator since the late 1960's with call letters WN8AVH, WB8AVH, WB6FGR and WB9KPT.  I have operated from Indiana, California, Illinois, Florida, Oklahoma and now Pennsylvania.  I am a life member of the ARRL.  Check out a series of articles I co-authored for QST "Meet the Microprocessor" August-October 1976.

I'm currently operating in an antenna restricted community with an ICOM IC-7000 and longwire antenna, digital modes are a new area I'm trying.  I'm also exploring all the great benefits of the HRD and DM780 software.

To pay for all the toys, I am Senior Vice President Product Managment for Rovi (formerly Macrovision / Gemstar TV Guide) in Radnor, PA.

I graduated with a MSEE degree from Purdue University in 1975.  As part of my job, I have over 30 patents in the areas of electronic program guides, teletext, digital television, television ghost canceling, commercial monitoring and audience research systems.   I also have memberships in IEEE, SMPTE and SCTE.
