I grew up in Champaign, IL where I attended the University of Illinois, receiving a BS degree in Electrical Engineering/Computer Science in 1972. Upon graduation, I started working full time at the Illinois State Water Survey with the radar group under the supervision of Donald Staggs and Eugene Mueller. My work there centered on the several radars fielded by the Atmospheric Sciences Section, mainly the two S-band FPS-18 based systems which were the CHILL radar and the Other radar. The Other radar was originally located at Pere Marquette State Park for project Metromex and later moved near Joliet, IL for rainfall studies in the Chicago area where it was known as the HOT radar. Ultimately, the HOT radar was moved northeast of Nunn, CO and renamed the PAWNEE radar. The CHILL radar has moved many times during its 40+ year history and needs no introduction here.
