Biography
W2BRM Brian R. Malone, B.S., M.S., R.Ph. Biography:
The W2BRM Amateur Radio Station is located in Suffolk County, on the North Shore of Long Island, New York, in the Town of Huntington, in the hamlet of Halesite, formerly Huntington Harbor, named after Nathan Hale, whom was considered an American hero of the American Revolutionary War, and also a place where Albert Einstein once lived. It is located about 30 miles (50 kilometers) east of New York City.
I have been an amateur radio operator since 1970 when I was 13, almost 50 years ago, starting with the FCC Novice License Call-Sign, WN2RZW.
I have many amateur radio operators in the family including my dad and father-in-law (both SK). I have 5 children-3 girls and 2 boys, hoping at least one will get their FCC license some day.
I practice as a hospital pharmacist and I am the administrative director and medication safety officer at a large teaching hospital on Long Island and as a part-time professor at Saint John's University, College of Pharmacy and Allied Health Sciences & Faculty at the NYU Long Island School of Medicine.
I am a member of the ARRL, QCWA, GSBARC, LARC and the International Pharmacists Ham Group & IPHG W2 coordinator.
