The QCWA Board of Directors are pleased to announce the appointment of

Larry is QCWA Member # 34917 and a member of QCWA Chapter 7. He was 
first licensed in 1978 as WB7PZE in Las Vegas, NV and now resides in Van 
Nuys, CA.

Over the years he has worked everything from 160m to 440, CW thru 
digital modes (WSPR). He has helped with field day, with antennas for 
all sorts of ham friends and also experimented with very long wire 
antennas laying on the ground.

Larry recently retired working in the communications industry since 
1978, when he was hired on as a radio technician at the Union Pacific 
Railroad in Los Angeles, eventually transferring back to Las Vegas, 
Nevada and worked there until 1985. Then he began working on the road 
with Harris/Farinon installing microwave equipment throughout the US for 
the next two years. Tired of being on the road, in 1987 he started to 
work for Los Angeles County Dept of Public Works, also as a radio 
technician. He was responsible for 65 SCADA sites, 5 microwave sites, 45 
base stations and was responsible for maintaining 140 FCC licenses.
