On February 10, several SPARC members started up their sport of choice. Their sport is not held in the stadiums or fields of the world, but in front of radio equipment.
SPARC Members contest into the night…
Hello. I have been licensed since 1980. I am currently the president of the St. Petersburg Amateur Radio Club (SPARC). I am a founding member of the Upper Pinellas Amateur Radio Club (UPARC) as well as a past-president and past club secretary. I am a Life Member of the ARRL as well as a member of the ARRL Maxim Society. Additionally, I am a life member of AMSAT, a member of the Clearwater Amateur Radio Society and a past-president and member of the Utah Amateur Radio Club. I hold 9 band DXCC covering 160 meters through 10 meters. I am also a member of the ARRL's A-1 Operator's Club. I mostly chase DX, POTA parks and dabble in contests both at home and with SPARC. I also work on the development of several amateur radio software projects including TR4W among other open source projects. I am a dyed in the wool Elecraft fan utilizing my K4D and KPA1500 for HF but also have more Icom radios than any one person should own. I also have a growing Begali key addiction that seems to keep growing. I also have a nice collection of older radios, Mac computers and HF 1500 watt amplifiers. Professionally, I own a software consulting company and have been involved in software development and IT continuous for the past 39 years.
