He was registered with Popular Electronics as Short-Wave Monitor WPE9BQH. He received his Novice license (WN9AVT) in October 1961, and selected K9LA in 1977. Carl is an electrical engineering graduate of Purdue University and was an RF design engineer for Motorola and Magnavox/Raytheon until his retirement in 2013. Carl enjoys propagation research, DXing (he’s at the Top of the Honor Roll), contesting (he was Editor of the ARRL’s National Contest Journal {NCJ} from 2002-2007), playing with antennas and restoring/using vintage equipment. He and his wife Vicky AE9YL (she was first licensed as KB5EAM when they lived in the DFW area) also enjoy traveling, which has included DXpeditions to Syria (YK9A in February 2001), to Market Reef (OJ0/AE9YL and OJ0/K9LA in July 2002) and numerous trips to ZF (Vicky is ZF2YL and Carl is ZF2LA). Carl has written monthly propagation columns for WorldRadio, NCJ and CQ Plus, and has written solar and propagation articles for many other Amateur Radio publications (and for his website at https://k9la.us). He is a contributing author to several propagation books. Carl was the ARRL Vice Director of the Central Division from 2017 through 2020. He then moved into the Director position, and served from 2021 through 2024. Carl and Vicky visited our GHHF a few years back and Carl gave a talk on propagation. *Topic: Texas DX Society April Meeting - Solid State Power AmplifiersTime: Apr 17, 2025 19:00 Central Time (US and Canada)Join Zoom Meetinghttps://us02web.zoom.us/j/87062422569?pwd=FrHzUNZlXLWnamJabcDu2bAsaGR0fz.1 <https://us02web.zoom.us/j/87062422569?pwd=FrHzUNZlXLWnamJabcDu2bAsaGR0fz.1>Meeting ID: 870 6242 2569Passcode: 581133*
