It is safe to say that amateur spread spectrum exists because of one unique entity-the
Amateur Radio Research and Development Corporation. Based in the Washington,
DC area, AMRAD played a key role in the development of amateur packet radio in
the early 1980s, and is continuing to lead the way in the realm of amateur spread

plishments speak for themselves.

President Andre Kesteloot, N4ICK. He has done as much as anyone to spread the
word about the intriguing intricacies-and very real benefits-that spread spectrum
systems hold for the amateur service.
