MEMBERS SPOTLIGHT
Steven DiPirro (KC1OSX)
I spend most of my time with SSB phone on the HF bands and is what I enjoy most. I have played around with digital voice modes like C4FM/Fusion and DSTAR as well as APRS, and more recently, since joining ARES, various digital modes on VHF and HF with fldigi and Winlink. I enjoy portable operation as a means to experiment with different portable setups for fun but that might also come in handy for ARES and emergency comms.
In an earlier career, I was a liaison between the Nashua PD and the Bush (senior VP then) security detail. I met an FBI special agent in charge, and he saw I was drooling at the Communications van. I told him my interest in getting more into public safety radio and doing consulting.
