WCF SECTION PRESS RELEASE #4
2ND ANNUAL WCF TECHNICAL CONFERENCE SPECIAL GUEST SPEAKER – ED HARE W1RFI, ARRL LAB MANAGER.
Our special guest speaker for the 2nd Annual West Central Florida Section Technical Conference, which will be held on Saturday February 27, 2016, will be Ed Hare W1RFI, Lab Manager, of the ARRL Laboratory.
After an industry career in product testing, Hare came to work at ARRL HQ in 1986. He started as ARRL’s “Product Review” test engineer, moved on to becoming ARRL’s “RFI guru” (notice his call!) and he now holds the position of Laboratory Manager. Over the years he has written quite a number of RFI articles, ranging from articles for QST and the “ARRL Handbook” to articles about the practical aspects of RFI that have appeared in professional trade journals. He is also one of the editors and authors of the ARRL “RFI Book” and the author of the ARRL’s book on RF exposure, “RF Exposure and You.” His personal operating interest is QRP CW, where Ed’s motto is, “Five Watts is a Lot of Power!” He is presently doing work on HF using 10 milliwatts, reporting 30 states worked, all in the ARRL CW Sweepstakes.
You will not want to miss hearing Hare doing the following programs: (1) The ARRL Lab: Trials, Tribulations and (Tall?) Tales and (2) Antenna Modeling and Propagation Prediction.
