Hi, My name is Tony Curtis. I've been in ham radio since 1954 when I was licensed as WN8TIZ at Marietta, Ohio. I went on to become W8TIZ and then moved to Pennsylvania where I switched to K3RXK, which I still use. I am a professor in the Department of Mass Communications of the University of North Carolina at Pembroke. I'm also the editor of Space Today Online, which is an Internet newsmagazine about space and astronomy. STO covers just about everything from Earth to the edge of the Universe. As an Extra Class ham, I'm pretty much interested in everything from DC to daylight -- hamsats, emergency public service work, dxing, ragchewing, packet & APRS, antennas, propagation, hf, vhf, uhf, QRP, cw, fm, ssb, contesting, QSLing, you name it [station data]. I'm a life member of the League and a firm supporter of AMSAT and TAPR. You may have read some of my stuff about amateur satellites in the past. I have been president of amateur radio clubs and repeater associations in the past. I also have done a variety of jobs in the ARRL field organization. I have been SEC (MDC), OES, ORS, OBS, OO. I was Net Manager for the Maryland Emergency Phone Net (MEPN). Today I am a national Educational Advisor to the ARRL, a volunteer instructor, and a volunteer examiner for the ARRL/VEC. I/m also very interested in virtual worlds on the Internet and Second Life in particular. I also have a virtual stamp album on the web on the topical theme of mass communication. The next page has some useful ham radio links. 73 and see you at Dayton, Tony e-mail |
