Introducing RCA Member
Jeff Hugabonne
How long have you been in the wireless industry? Nearly 30 years. I started as an on-air radio personality.
What are your specific interests or wireless areas of expertise? My core expertise is with high power RF and Broadcast Engineering, mission critical and disaster response emergency communications, with interested that extend across the E-Mag spectrum, EMP and HEMP protection, antennas, RF propagation & radio history.
How long have you been an RCA member? I am a new member
What caused you to join? A friend shared a link of the KDKA anniversary show, which I thought was excellent. I think it is important to support RCA, it’s overall mission & preservation of wireless history.
Where do you live and work? I work for CACI International in Arlington; telework from my home office in Simsbury, CT
Are there areas of RCA that you would be interested in learning about? Is there a specific demographic in the wireless industry that you hope to network with? My current career is with critical infrastructure, post (black sky) event resiliency and continuity; emergency message dissemination to the public, but I look forward to presentations, technical symposiums as well as meeting and learning from member across the industries and the fraternity on all aspects of wireless.
