Scott was first licensed in the Summer of 2002 and, though new to amateur radio, has spent a life working with technology. He started burning his fingers with solder in the 1960's and received his degree in Computer Science in 1981. His summer project prior to graduation was wire-wrapping a microcomputer of his own design, blinking lights, toggle switches, and all.

QRP, portable operation, contesting, antenna design, and HF propagation are his main interests in the hobby. Recently he developed an itch for DXpeditioning and has been traveling with his radio ever since. His recent destinations include KH6, KP2, Deer Isle (NA-055), and activating the Boston Harbor Islands (NA-148).

Sandy is the very patient and supportive love-of-Scott's-life for the last quarter century or so, and she's put up with a lot: wires running everywhere, parts overflowing boxes, and a new gizmo every couple of weeks. Many of his accomplishments are really team accomplishments, truth be told.

Scott holds an Extra class license and is an active blogger, expounding on all his radio DXpeditioning exploits in his blog The 100 Pound DXpedition, a work that gets updated daily.
