Thomas Dougherty
N0TJD Presenting AMSAT
Thomas has been active as a General License amateur radio operator since 2014. The late start in amateur radio was due to another hobby. Aviation was his passion. For 46 years he flew airplanes and volunteered with a group - Wings of Hope. Wings of Hope is a charity. Operating a free air ambulance service in the US for those in need. Its primary mission was to allow children in need of medical treatment with little or no coverage of health insurance to be treated by Shriners Hospitals and Clinics. As age continues for each of us, he lost his medical approval to exercise his pilots license. That is how Amateur Radio came into his life. He needed another technical hobby. Being a Electrical Engineer and being interested in allowing his students to see how they can be part of the future of technology, he became a member of AMSAT-NA. Additionally, he is active in St Louis Metro ARES and MARA-STL.
