Marc Kohli
​K6RA
​Vice President

Contact
Marc found ham radio during the pandemic and quickly fell into the broad-and-deep rabbit hole. One of the things Marc loves most about the ham community and SFRC specifically is the diversity of interests and people ranging from community service to experimental radio and homebrew. Marc enjoys HF both at home and portable operation as well as checking into weekly nets.

Treasurer

Contact
Rick earned his license in 1968 and built several Heathkit HF rigs near Chicago.  He re-licensed in 2020 to join ACS for emergencies in San Francisco.  Rick loves low-power cw HF operation for Summits-on-the-Air (SOTA) and Parks-on-the-Air (POTA) while backpacking in the mountains.

Director

Kent was licensed in 2017 after attending a Scouts on the Air event with his son. Since then, he has built his own HF antenna for his Sunset District home, been active on FT8, and put together a mobile SSB HF rig. Being an avid sailor, he has brought his avocations together by being a founder of Boats on the Air, a program where boats are activated with a ham radio station.

Harry Stern, Esq.

Harry’s fascination with all things radio-related started at an early age. He was first licensed in the mid-1970s, earning his general class at thirteen. Harry also spent seven years as a first responder during which time he was “on the air” every shift. These days Harry particularly enjoys HF including firing up his vintage tube Tempo One.
