The profile pictures show my wife and I on our first date in 1967 at a ham radio contest on Staten Island in New York City. Believe it or not she said yes to a second date and also later to a marriage proposal. The last picture shows us 40 years later in 2007.

I was originally licensed in 1961 as WV2QYO. Later I held the calls WA2QYO and W2QYO. I changed my call to W2WB on 9-4-09.

Profession: Dentist and I do forensic odontology at the local medical examiners office. I belong to DMORT (National Disaster Medical System / Disaster Mortuary Operational Response Team) which is part of HHS (Dept. of Health and Human Services). We are composed of forensic experts who are deployed by the federal government to identify victims in mass disasters. I was deployed four times (9/11/2001 - WTC, Hurricane Katrina in 2005, Continental Flight 3407 in Buffalo, NY in 2009and the Haiti Earthquake in 2010). The graphic below is our team patch and the symbols on it represent the different diciplines in our team. The scales are Forenic Pathologists, the dove is Funeral Services, the twisted ribbon is for DNA, the bottom ribbon photographic film for photography, the teeth represent Forensic Ondontology, the computer stands for IR, Fingerprint for fingerprint specialists and the skull represents Radiology and the calipers for Forensic Anthroplogy.

Stuff: My main rig is a Flex 5000A SDR transceiver. I also have a functioning 1970's Heathkit station most of which I built in 1970. It includes the following: SB-102 transceiver, SB-640 external LMO, SB-200 Amplifier, SB-630 Station Console, SB-610 MonitorScope, 1410 Keyer, HM-102 SWR/Watt Meter, Yaesu VX-6 HT. I also use a Palstar AT2K tuner, a Palstar ZM-30 antenna analyzerand mostly wire antennas. Also a VE (Volunteer Examiner) with the ARRL.
