Ed Hare, W1RFI
First licensed in 1963 (ex KA1CV, WA1CYF). After 16 years in the electronics industry, he came to ARRL HQ in 1986. He started as ARRL’s “Product Review” test engineer, moved on to becoming ARRL’s “RFI guru” (notice his call!) and he now holds the position of Laboratory Manager.
Over the years he has written quite a number of RFI articles, ranging from articles for QST and The ARRL Handbook to articles that have appeared in professional trade journals. He is also one of the editors and authors of The ARRL RFI Book and the author of the ARRL’s book on RF exposure, RF Exposure and You.
He is very active in several RFI programs at ARRL, holding membership on the Society of Automotive Engineers EMC/EMR Committee, the ANSI accredited C63 EMC committee as Chair of Subcommittee 5 (Immunity) and as the elected Secretary of the IEEE EMC Society’s Standards Development Committee, serving in a leadership role in helping the IEEE oversee the development of EMC standards.
On a personal note, Ed is interested in QRP and CW operation, having achieved his Worked All States award using 250 milliwatts of power. He serves on the QRP Amateur Radio Club International Board of Directors. In addition to Amateur Radio, he enjoys fishing Connecticut’s lakes and is a member of the Terryville Fish and Game Club. Although often pressed, Ed won’t share information about his local super-secret fishing holes.
