Publications

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