[Milsurplus] Tom Kneitel

[Richard Arland, W3OSS]

I grew up with Uncle Tommy. I noticed that the early issues of Pop Comm 
featured a number of his EI articles with a bit of updating.

As I understand it Tommy has an in-depth background in electronic 
warfare...he is a member of the "Old Crows" although I have never seen his 
formal pedigree, I doubt he is a total buffoon when it comes to electronics.

His humor is reminiscent of Kurt N. Sturbba the antenna guru from Worldradio 
Magazine...could there be a relationship there?? Coincidence or fact? 
Inquiring minds want to know!
