Program:
"Grounding, Bonding, and Mains Power for Hams" by Jim Brown, K9YC

Jim has been hamming since the summer before starting high school in 1955, starting out as WN8FNI, then W8FNI. Always primarily a CW op, he passed his Extra Class in 1959, the summer before college. Finished his BSEE at the University of Cincinnati in 1964, settling in Chicago for 42 years as W9NEC. W8FUM mentored him in contesting early on, and he was working SS and CD Parties before college.

Jim has been a member of the Standards Committee of the Audio Engineering Society since the '90s, a member of Working Groups in several disciplines, and Vice-Chair of the WG on EMC for 20 years. He's a principal author of multiple AES Standards on EMC, and lectured Workshops to Sound and Video Contractors at national conventions.

Until moving to the Santa Cruz Mountains, his stations were always quite modest, all wires on a city lot. He joined NCCC when he moved here in 2006, and with lots of help from members, has built the station of his wildest dreams.
