Biography

First license WN6LFQ in 1975 at age 13. Lapsed due to girls. Current W7TLG, Extra Class. PhD Chemical Physics with a career in semiconductor R&D. ~500 patents. Love to tinker with anything about technology. Mostly get interested in something, dive DEEP, and then get bored. Kinda pathological, but I have learned a lot in my 64 years. Love Ham Radio as it touches everything and the breadth is ideal for someone like me.

Worked DXCCs:

Equipment

Main rig - Yaesu FT-991A
HTs - Yaesu FT-5DR, Baofeng BF-F8HP Pro
Antenna - Tram 1477 for VHF/UHF, Chameleon CHA Mini vertical
Tuner - LDG AT-Pro II
Lots of other bits and pieces. Several restored tube testers, curve tracer for tubes, tons of sensor experiment and analytical gear.
