I admit it, I'm an SOB - a "Son of Bernie" that is. "Son of Bernie" is a tribute to my late father (the finest man I've ever known) but also touches on my interests in amateur radio, flying, Catholicism and family.
I'm "Bumpa" to my six grandkids and W1WH to fellow ham radio operators around the world. I'm the father of three, an adult revert to the Catholic faith of my childhood and a Fourth Degree member of the Knights of Columbus. I've had lifelong interests in ham radio and shortwave listening as well as flying (private pilot). My wife Jane (who's usually the smartest person in the room) and I are on and off again members of Mensa (but don't take it very seriously). Our mission in life is spoiling our six grandchildren, thus saving them from the deprived lives which their parents believe they experienced while growing up.
Professionally, I've developed hundreds of wireless and fiber optic amplification sites throughout the USA. Since 2004 I've been involved with upgrading New England wireless networks for both Sprint and AT&T and am currently working on a large scale modernization project for T-Mobile.
