Robert Witte (aka Bob Witte, KØNR, ex-KBØCY)
 By
background, education and (probably)
genetics, I am an Electrical Engineer. I received a BSEE from Purdue University
and an MSEE from Colorado State University. While attending Purdue University, I
got
interested in amateur radio and received my first amateur radio license in 1977.
I also hold a commercial license (FCC General Radiotelephone License) and a General Mobile Radio Service (GMRS) license (KAF1068). I've held a number of positions in R&D and engineering management and I have
a Masters Degree in Management of Technology (MSMOT).
OSCAR Satellite Awards
I have been active on the low-earth-orbit (LEO) amateur radio satellites for
several years. I recently received confirmation of working stations in 100
different vhf grids. This was mostly done via the UO-14, AO-27 and ISS (digital)
satellites. In March 2002, I received the Satellite VUCC
award (#115) from the ARRL. In June 2003, I received the AMSAT OSCAR
Satellite Communications Achievement Award #381.
DX Century Club
After many years of sporadic operation on the high frequency radio bands, I finally confirmed contacts with over 100 countries around the world. I
received DXCC award #36,847 from
the American Radio Relay League on February
5, 2000.
