Tom is developing new Next Generation Antennas which can be purchased through his website at N6BT.com. Continuing to move technology forward, he is conducting real-time antenna testing: measuring take-off angles and comparative strengths of antennas using a sophisticated quad copter. He speaks on this and other antenna information in presentations such as he is giving at this years’ Pacificon Antenna Forum and is happy to also talk to you about this at his booth in the Contra Costa vendor hall. Tom shares his knowledge and experience in the books which he has authored, “Array of Light (third edition)”, written for new to very experienced amateur radio operators. He has been licensed over 50 years, is an A.R.R.L. Life Member and operates as an expert consultant on antenna and tower installations. He has developed hundreds of antennas and will help you assess your needs based on your individual application and specifically build an antenna right for your location. Tom is the founder of Force 12, Inc. where he produced revolutionary designs, shipping over 24,000 antennas worldwide. After selling the product line in 2008, he began his current operations. He is an avid contester, founding Team Vertical with Kenny, K2KW, setting over 20 world records with the team and individually, including his incredible CQWW CW QRP 160 World Record.
