Larry Lutzak has been a licensed amateur radio operator since 1968. He currently holds an Amateur Extra Class license, and operates his own station out of his home in Bellerose, Long Island (IOTA NA-026), NY. He has held the callsigns of: WN2IBW, WN2EKX and his current callsign, WA2CNV. Larry is also trustee of K2ARC, primarily used as a special event station callsign for the American Red Cross Emergency Communications Service(ARCECS)/WB2QBP. Larry has been a member of ARCECS since August, 1967. He has held every elective and appointed office in ARCECS, including President (10 Terms). He currently has been serving as an Assistant Director for the Hudson Division of the American Radio Relay League (ARRL). Since 1992, Larry has enjoyed the thrill of HF DX'ing and has Mixed DXCC, WAC (and will have mixed WAZ, WAS - 10m SSB in 1999.) He is also an enthusiastic HF contester, participating in the CQWW DX and WPX contests, ARRL WW DX and 10M DX contests. His favorite contest, however, still remains the ARRL Field Day Weekend, which he has participated in with ARCECS since 1968. In his Broadcast Band DX listening days in the 1960's, Larry held the call of WPE2PYZ, issued by the old Popular Electronics magazine. He was a member of the International Radio Club of America (IRCA). His very first official amateur radio contact as WN2IBW came in 1968. While calling on 15 Meter CW at the QTH of longtime friend N3HRI (ex-WB2SZZ), he was answered by none other than JY1, His Majesty, the late King Hussein of Jordan. While his contact with JY1 was most memorable, Larry still enjoys the satisfaction of volunteer service during times of disaster (hurricanes, earthquakes and, more recently, the Blizzard of 1996). He also vounteers for public service events, such as the NYC Marathon (he also ran in it as well, in 1994 and 1995, completing both) and the United Cerebral Palsy Hike-For Health.
