We are continuing to plan a monthly column
for 2023 to profile hams to are high profile in society or
have accomplished something major outside of amateur radio.
We have been collecting names but we’d like to hear from you.
Naturally Joe Taylor, K1JT leaps to mind as
he has earned a Nobel Prize in radio astronomy.
We also have Dirk Basting, N4AN who
developed the Excimer laser used in LASIK eye surgery today.
Even multi-billionaire Michael Bloomberg
was influenced early in life by amateur radio and a love for
science, leading to an electrical engineering degree, onto
building Bloomberg LP.

Please think about hams in your division
that would meet this criteria. We’d like to interview them
and bring the possibilities of a life influenced by radio
communications and technology to light for both our members
and for our teachers/youth.
Thanks
David
