About Me

My photo
Ben P.
I have a Master's Degree in Electrical Engineering. I have always wanted to work with space technology, and found the student satellite program at the University of Arizona where I studied. There I became introduced to Ham Radio, initially earning my Technician license. More recently, I have become interested in emergency communications, and in general DXing, earning my Amateur Extra license.
