I would like to share this with all of AMRAD, particularly Paul Rinaldo, W4RI, who has led AMRAD through its many successful contributions to technology associated with amateur radio.

Apparently that was more curiosity than the writer (and one assumes at least one editor) at CQ had, because as it turns out, he doesn't -- his callsign is actually YD2JKW.
