I celebrated my 32nd anniversary of being a ham in March. As I look back it was suggested that I list the things I have done in Amateur Radio in no particular order. I received my Novice license from the FCC via the US Postal Service on March 18, 1975 as WN3ZER. Later that year I upgraded to General by going to the FCC building in Baltimore. I got my advanced license in 1994 to be able to keep the 40 Meter transmitter on for shuttle re-transmission and the decided to get my Extra in 1995.

I found the Bi-centennial WAS net in March of 1976 (the predecessor to the 3905 CCN). I went away to college for four years and was inactive for those years. When I returned I found the 3905 CCN and was a net control operator 3 times a week in 1982 and 1983. I became a member of the Baltimore Amateur Radio Club where I held many positions in the club including President, vice President and Treasurer. I am currently the treasurer and building security chairman for the clubs meeting and training facility where my wife, myself and a few club members found secured and set up the entire building including the clubs radio room.

I was also the General Chairman of the Greater Baltimore Hamboree and Computerfest for 20 years. The show became the 5th largest hamfest in the country in the mid 90's drawing over 20,000 people and having over 900 indoor table spaces 250 indoor tailgate spaces and 650 outdoor spaces.  I am also a consultant and help the General Chairman of the Rochester Hamfest for the past 15 years. I have been a club representative to the Foundation for Amateur Radio for many years and am currently the indoor vendor chairman for FARFest host to the ARRL Maryland Section Convention.

                     I have also been a Space Shuttle re-transmission operator for the Goddard Amateur Radio Club, I am an ARRL and Laural VE and am an ARRL field card checker for the DXCC, WAS and VUCC awards.  I attend many hamfests to check cards including the Rochester hamfest in NY. 

                    I was a past Emergency Coordinator for Baltimore County/City and am currently an ARES member as long as a member of RACES for Baltimore County. I am also a member of the West Manchester, PA RACES and am vice president of the Hanover Area Hamming Association also known as HAHA.

                    I am currently the QSL manager for N3WD, KF3M, and W3FT as well as trustee for KF3M . I also participate in many contests throughout the year as well as enjoying HF mobile.
