[bars] BARS In-Person and ZOOM meeting April 2, 7:00 PM "The DXpedition Doctor"

[Bruce Anderson]

Arnold Shatz, N6HC, will be our guest speaker for the April 2, 2025 Club
meeting. He will give a presentation entitled "The DXpedition Doctor,"
which will cover the behind-the-scenes work that Arnold did for multiple
DXpeditions around the world. This involved ensuring that each member of
the team remained healthy and that all of their needs were met during the
DXpedition to ensure its success.
I was first licensed as KN3ANU at the age of 13 in Philadelphia,
Pennsylvania and quickly upgraded to a General Class ticket. I received an
Official Relay Station (ORS) appointment from the ARRL and enjoyed handling
CW traffic and participating in CD contests. Amateur radio was put on hold
while I attended Temple University and earned a B.S. in Biology and an M.D.
degree. Post-medical school training followed at the University of
California, San Francisco, and service in the United States Public Health
Service (Department of the Navy- Lieutenant Commander), Indian Health
Service on the Navajo and Hopi reservations.
I moved to Southern California in 1976 and started a solo private urology
practice. In 1977 I upgraded to Extra Class as N6HC. I am an active member
of CERT (Community Emergency Response Team) both in my immediate community
of Tustin, California, and Costa Mesa, California. I have been an ARRL
member for more than 60 years and I am a member of the league's Legacy
Circle and Maxim Society. I serve as a Volunteer Examiner and a Field QSL
card checker for both ARRL and CQ awards. I am a member of the Southern
California DX Club (Vice-President-2009), Northern California DX
Foundation, Southern California Contest Club and Orange County Amateur
Radio Club. I am also a Chiltern DX Association (UK) member and the Medical
Amateur Radio Council, Ltd. (MARCO). I was elected to membership in the A-1
operators club and I have earned many operating awards including WAS (6
bands, SSB, CW, RTTY), DXCC #1 Honor Roll, DXCC (9 bands, SSB, CW, RTTY),
WAZ (CW & SSB), WAC, WPX (SSB & CW), and VUCC. I am an active contester and
have earned numerous awards for participation in both domestic and DX
competitions. I have operated from many places around the continental
United States as well as Hawaii, Alaska, Mexico, Samoa, and Prince Edward
Island. I was named the DXer of the Year (2012) and awarded the first
Meritorious Service award (2018) by the Southern California DX Club.
I have been a team member of fourteen major DXpeditions: K7C-Kure atoll
(2005), 3B7C- St. Brandon Island (2007), TX5C- Clipperton Island (2008),
