N6OI, WW6G, N6SJ, K6YP

Treasurer - Frank Kibbish - N6OI

kibbish at gmail.com

I was first licensed in 1975 as WN6MRQ. The call changed to WB6MRQ when I passed the General and Advanced tests on the same day less than a year later. I finally upgraded to Extra more than 30 years later, and changed my call to N6OI in 2012. I've only been serious about DXing for the last 15 years or so, but also do some public service work and some light contesting. Career wise, I spent nearly 40 years working in various high tech roles, and retired in 2018. I was a music major in college, and I still love to spend time playing music (clarinet, sax, guitar, vocals). My wife and I enjoy traveling when we can. I'm a member of NCDXC (obviously), NCCC, 10-X, and a life member of the ARRL.

K6YP

Director - John Eisenberg, K6YP

k6yp at arrl.net

John was born in Jamaica, Long Island, New York. He was fascinated by electronics at an early age and earned his Novice amateur radio license WV2EGR in 1957 followed shortly thereafter by a General ticket as WA2EGR. John’s interest in electronics led to a BSEE and a MSEE both from Cornell University.

After college, John went to work as a microwave engineer. He designed and produced some of the first low noise solid state microwave amplifiers. Believing there was a growing need for these amplifiers in both defense and commercial markets, John and two associates founded Narda Microwave Western Operation, a division of The Narda Microwave Corporation in 1975.

John left Narda West in 1984 to start John A Eisenberg and Associates, a RF and microwave consulting company. John participated in the startup of two additional businesses as a founder. WhereNet marketed a real time locating system using RF emitting tags attached used to track and locate items in manufacturing environments. Cool Dry developed a new concept for drying clothes which employed RF energy to do the job. John retired from industry and closed John A. Eisenberg and Associates in 2019.

He is now enjoying life pursuing his interests in travel, wine and food with his wife Joan and woodworking and amateur radio on his own. John currently holds an amateur Extra class license as K6YP and is an avid DXer. John needs just Syria to complete ARRL No. 1 Honor Roll. He also enjoys designing and building equipment for use at his ham radio station. John has been a member of the Northern CA DX Club since 1998 and has held all club Officer and Director positions except Treasurer. He Co-chaired the International DX Convention in 2007 and 2009 and has served on the IDXC committee as Major Prize Chair since 2007.

Robert_Chortek_sm-square (1)

Director - Robert Chortek, AA6VB

Bob was first licensed as a Novice in 1976. His license lapsed while he was in college but was reintroduced to ham radio in 1990.  He fell in love with 80 meters while chasing Five Band DXCC and was soon bitten by the “Low Band Bug”.  After focusing almost entirely on 160 meters for about 15 years (a painful experience from a small city lot in the black hole of California) he finally turned his attention to DXing and qualifying for the Honor Roll.  Bob currently enjoys hunting for new countries and band fills between DXpeditions.  In addition to ham radio, his other hobbies include fly fishing for trout, skiing and triathlon.

w6ibu

Director - Paul Booth W6IBU

w6ibu at earthlink.net

I have been interested in electronics as long as I can remember, since soldering and working on old tube TVs and radios at the age of seven. I obtained my novice in 1968, WN6IBU after we moved to Calif. In high school, I obtained my general at age 14 and advanced at age 15, WA6IBU. The school had a ham club where I became president. I finally got my dream station, a Heath SB-300/400 pair and a Johnson Viking linear. I also got hooked on DX, hook, line and sinker, when two stations called me: KJ6BZ and TJ1AW. From then on, it was all the DX I could swallow.

After high school, I went to UC Davis for a BSEE and then Cal Tech for MSEE. I started my career with Bell Labs in New Jersey. After Bell Labs, then 3Com and Cisco from which I retired. Been in and out of ham radio during the years, raising kids, moving back to California, building a house, but eventually got back in with a very modest station. I diligently focused on DX. The DX gods were good at that time and I was able to work them all. I soon joined NCDXC which had always been on my wish list, to find a whole new group of new friends with similar interests. Next on my wish list is to do a dxpedition.
