Before moving to Florida in 1993,  my wife & I owned and operated ARDCOM ELECTRONICS in West Chazy, NY.    Interested in electronics since 1958, Ive had the good fortune to be involved in many new things . . . from bouncing radio signals off the moon, to designing and building a complete satellite TV system in 1978 - 1979, before there WAS a home satellite industry.
