Mr. Baxter, K1MAN, is a former Industrial Engineer with the Collins
Radio Company (Automatic Process Division) in Cedar Rapids, Iowa. Mr.
Baxter stated that "I can't imagine any Radio Amateur who would be any
happier than those who have been in the engineering cultures of the
Heath Company or the Collins Radio Company. Mr. Palmer brings much
of the fabulous Heath engineering culture into our IARN and AARA
organizations, and we are all thrilled to have him aboard. Mr.
Palmer's dad was a black high school principal in Missouri, and also
brings a culture of innovative teaching and the education of bright
children into IARN and AARA. The American Amateur Radio Association is a
major sponsor of the IARN AMATEUR RADIO PEACE CORPS KIDS PROJECT," said Mr.
Baxter. For more information go to www.K1MAN.com.
