Publications

A Hot Afternoon In Greenland was published in the September 2000 issue of Amateur Radio Relay League Journal.  While on remote tech support assignment of a UM AOSS space weather project in Greenland, I operated satellite amateur radio from central Greenland. This was probably the first amateur satellite radio operations from central Greenland.
