Larry Wolfgang, WR1B, Named QEX Editor
ARRL Publications Manager Steve Ford, WB8IMY, announced today that he has named long-time ARRL Headquarters staffer Larry Wolfgang, WR1B, as QEX Editor. QEX is ARRL's forum for communications experimenters. Wolfgang takes over Editorial duties from Doug Smith, KF6DX. Smith had filled the position since the September/October 1998 issue, when he took over for Rudy Severns, N6LF.
Ford said, "Larry has been QEX Managing Editor for the past year and a half, but as Editor, he will be responsible for the full scope of QEX editorial operations."
Larry holds a BS in physics from Susquehanna University; he taught high school science prior to coming to ARRL in June 1981. First licensed at 15 as WN3JQM in 1968, Wolfgang also held WA3VIL for many years.
Wolfgang said, "Being named QEX Editor is quite an honor, and also a huge challenge. When I reviewed the list of previous Editors, starting with Paul Rinaldo, W4RI, in 1981, I realized what an awesome responsibility it will be to guide QEX. The magazine is an experimenters' exchange, so I want to encourage more authors to write about projects on which they are working. While we like construction-type articles, this is also a place to share 'projects in the works' and exchange stories about successes and failures. I also want to find some ways to increase our readership." A video detailing Wolfgang's vision for QEX is available on YouTube.
Readers can find more information about QEX, published six times a year, at the QEX Web site. The site features cover images for the past two years, as well as the Table of Contents and Letters columns from those issues. A sample article from each of those issues is available for free download.
