Bob is the founder and Expedition Leader of Cordell Expeditions, a nonprofit research group begun in 1977.  The group is responsible for the creation of the Cordell Bank National Marine Sanctuary and for numerous research expeditions to remote oceanic sites.  He is a research physicist, by profession, with about 100 publications and four patents. 

																					Bob was licensed in 1962 and holds an extra class license, KK6EK.  His specialties are very difficult DXpeditions and developing new technology for DXpeditions.  He is the inventor (for XR0Y/Z) of the online log server and DXA, the real-time log website (for K7C).
