The guest speaker for the Feb 18th Desert RATS meeting will be Ken Miller. He will be talking about CW and the history of CW.
Ken, K6CTW, has been licensed since 1967. He has an Amateur Extra Class license and is a member of the ARRL, the A-1 Operators Club and The Morse Telegraph Club (station RI sine KM). His primary interests in ham radio are CW, NTS, RACES/ACS, Boat Anchors and of course Morse Code.
He has been the Net Manager for the Sixth Region Net (RN6) and was a member of the TCC. While living in Canada, he was the Assistant Section Manager for British Columbia. Ken currently volunteers with the RACES/ACS group for his local fire department and also with the San Bernardino County Sheriff’s Office. Some of you might even remember having seen Ken on Friday, May 13, 2005 as the receiving operator on “The Tonight Show with Jay Leno” where a championship text messaging team just wasn’t as fast as the almost 170 year old Morse code.
