I’m Ken, KN2D – a ham for over 50 years. (My previous callsigns were WN2MSF and WA2MSF.)
My Dad was a ham, licensed in 1957 as K2VYD. My son now has his callsign.
I love HF contesting and DXing and have just returned to the air after about 20 years of being inactive – now equipped with a Yaesu FT-710 and a G5RV antenna and a triband dipole.
I’m also getting acquainted with FT8 and DMR.
Primarily, I’ve been tweaking my antennas and working on getting my CW speed back to 50 wpm, where it was when I was a teen.
I am a VE (Volunteer Examiner) and a member of QCWA.
Professionally, over 25+ years, I held executive positions at Motorola, Marriott and Caremark and was a senior partner at a 35‐person marketing agency.
Today, I’m an award‐winning marketer, public speaker and coach/trainer and an internationally recognized, accredited expert on Email Marketing and Social Media Marketing. (I coach businesses how to make more money with email marketing.)
I’m Constant Contact’s top worldwide partner/trainer, a certified email marketing expert, and am a frequent speaker at trade shows, workshops, and online.
In the ham world, I was recently a speaker at HamCation, teaching attendees how to grow their ham club. You can find a studio replay of the presentation at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ybi4CPw__-s
