John W. Brosnahan Vanderpool, TX QCWA # 20822 Chapter 58 |
John was a great family man, a first-rate contester, a DXer, builder, problem solver, businessman, and a help to all who knew him, said Alan Applegate, KØBG, his friend of many years. He was also one of the most personable people I have ever known.
An active contester, Brosnahan was a contributor to National Contest Journal (NCJ) and to the ARRL Contest Update, as well as to various technical forums. He stepped down from Alpha/Power in 2000 citing a combination of health issues and family obligations.
Brosnahan, who relocated from Colorado to Texas about 10 years ago, was a research physicist and developer of atmospheric remote-sensing tools for clients such as the National Oceanographic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA). Applegate said Brosnahan did a lot of the equipment design and installation for the High Frequency Active Auroral Research Program (HAARP) ionospheric research facility in Alaska.
Brosnahan founded Signal Hill Research, Tycho Technologies, and LaSalle Research. He contributed technical papers to such journals as Radio Science.
