When Jan Didden visited in October 2010 he interviewed me about my involvement with audio before, during and after my 37 year career in R&D of Microwave and RF Test Equipment at Hewlett Packard Co. (now Agilent) in California. The interview was published in the Juli 2011 issue of AudioXpress magazine.

At AXPONA-Atlanta in 2011 I was interviewed by vimeo about ORION-4.
