The Potomac Valley Radio Club is proud to announce that renowned audio and RFI expert Jim Brown, K9YC, will be making a presentation to the PVRC at Capitol College in Laurel Maryland on Tuesday, October 9th, 2007. This a rare opportunity to learn about audio and RFI mitigation from one of amateur radio's most well-respected authorities on audio engineering, and RFI and its mitigation.

K9YC is an active contester and DXer from his QTH in Santa Cruz, California, and currently serving on the Board of Directors of NCCC. He became interested in music and radio as a teenager, falling in love with jazz and Bach, and qualifying for an amateur radio license before his 14th birthday. Three years later he received Amateur Extra Class and First Class Radiotelephone licenses, and entered the Electrical Engineering program at the University of Cincinnati. He received the BSEE in 1964 and has worked in broadcasting and professional audio since 1960. Since 1985, his consulting practice has specialized in the design of sound systems for worship, performance, and sports facilities. More recently, his focus has expanded to include research and consulting on EMC issues.

Jim is a Fellow of the Audio Engineering Society (AES), and a member of the Acoustical Society of America, the Society of Broadcast Engineers, and the Society of Motion Picture and Television Engineers, and has presented invited papers to all of those societies. He is a member of the AES Technical Committee on Acoustics and Sound Reinforcement, and the AES Standards Committee's Working Groups on Microphones, Intelligibility, Acoustic and Sound Source Modeling, Digital Audio Transmission, and Audio Connectors, and is Vice-Chair of the Standards Working Group on EMC and Chair of the AES Technical Committee on EMC.
