Joe’s Place - Joe Papworth, K8MP
Joe has a knack to capture a moment in time, a season, an
activity or just a feeling. He skillfully puts that together in a
place we can all visit- he calls it “Joe’s Place”. He is such a
prolific writer that he’s published a book called “Joe’s Place.”
Joe is a contester, a cw guy, and a very active ham.
Joe is also President of DELARA for 2015, so the regular
“President’s Column” is now part of Joe’s Place! Read here!
Craig Miller, W8CR
A true master of whimsy, wit and observation, Craig’s routinely
deals with events in his life and turns them into excellent
reading for the rest of us! Craig tosses a wide range of topics
at us and each one is well worth the read! Be careful while
reading, articles have been reported to cause a ‘snort’ or two!
Bob Dixon, W8ERD
Dr. Bob is a prolific writer and an expert in many fields. He
shares his lifelong hobby with us both in writing and in life. Bob
is the recipient of the 2013 ARRL Technical Service Award. That
his license plates say, “SETI” is no accident. His writing ranges
from a study of EMP to a white-knuckle ride down an Olympic
luge track.
Our Columns
One of the best things about DELARA is our members! And one of the best things about this group of members is their ability to take us places both real and imagined, teach us things, and keep us in touch with DELARA....and our slightly warped sense of reality! From riding the Luge to staring Tesla in the eye, these are our creative writeres! Click on the button below to read their article, or pick it from the menu above
Dan Romanchik, KB6NU
Dan Romanchik’s radio blog is the number one ham radio blog
on Google. He is an Ann Arbor resident, writes several blogs,
works in graphic design, authored the “No-Nonsense Amateur
Radio License Guides” and makes his writing available to
newsletters like ours. We’re glad to have his expertise and
perspective.
Will Hoffine, N8TQU
It’s said that those who don’t know history are doomed to
repeat it. Will has a great interest in history- here in Ohio and
elsewhere. We can learn from it, but as it turns out Will’s
history is darned entertaining!
Joe Fischer, W8JPF
Joe Fisher is a very active ham in DELARA, and he steps out
with some creative ideas! Joe’s quiet demeanor can mask a
high level of teechnical ability. Joe’s interest in the hobby
varies across a wide array of subjects- each an interesting
read and something from which we can learn a thing or two.
