Biography

Born 1940 in Maryville, TN, A Ham since 1954, BSEE from MIT in 1962. I am a retired broadcast engineering consultant and educator/trainer/writer. I have operated from many countries with calls of VU2IE, HC1JX, TI2ERO, S79J, CE3/K4ERO, K4ERO/HP, VK8, etc. I worked for 13 years with HCJB in Ecuador where the cubical quad was invented. I am a technical adviser and contributing editor for the ARRL and write for QST, QEX, the Handbook and the Antenna book.

As a Methodist pastor I served churches in the U.S. and Ecuador. My overseas work was with Christian radio stations in many countries. Happily married since 1968 to Ruth, WB4LUA who is a radio technician, counsellor and author. Our son Andrew, USMC/Army veteran, EMT/Police officer, is now a dog trainer.

Equipment

Equipment
I use a Yaesu FT-817 at 2W for PSK. I have used up to 2.5 Megawatts PEP for short wave broadcasting with 22 dB gain antennas in my professional career, so QRP has some appeal to me. SSB phone with Alinco or Yaesu rigs and Collins 30L-1 linear amp only used if needed. Antennas are 80-meter dipole up 40 feet, a full wave 80-meter horizontal loop dipole at 30 feet. 50, 144 and 432 MHz omnidirectional stacked loops. Mobile with Yaesu 50W on 2 meters. I keep a sked with old buddies on 3675 each Tuesday at 8 AM local time. Call in anytime and say hello.
