Kristen McIntyre, K6WX, is presenting from the San Francisco Bay area “Grounding is a Myth” at our June meeting...removing much of the mystery and hype about grounding antennas or equipment. Kristen is an MIT graduate in electrical engineering and currently a senior software engineer at Apple. She previously worked (in her words) “at many of the usual suspects in Silicon Valley.”
In January 2019 Kristen was named Vice-Director for the ARRL Pacific Division after serving as Technical Coordinator for the ARRL East Bay Section. She also has been president of the Palo Alto Amateur Radio Association for 11 years and is a licensed amateur in Japan as JI1IZZ. Kristen frequently speaks at ARRL conventions on technical topics and you might have seen her talks at HAMCON 2015 or HAMCON 2017 in Torrance. Also in 2017 she was inducted into the CQ Amateur Radio Hall of Fame.
