About Maury:
An American, Prof. Maury Peiperl lived in the UK from 1986 to 1987 and from 1992 to 2003. He now divides his time between Switzerland and the USA, with frequent trips to teach or conduct research (including scouting DX!) in other countries.
Maury has been active in radio since high school, and has put a number of schools and universities on the air. He obtained a license for the Northwood HS Amateur Radio Club in 1977 in Silver Spring, Maryland, where he recently returned to live part time after 25 years away. He was treasurer and principal contest operator of the Brown University Amateur Radio Club, K1AD (Providence, Rhode Island) in 1978-79 and station manager of the Harvard Wireless Club, W1AF (Cambridge, Massachusetts) from 1991 to 1992, where he also ran Volunteer Examiner sessions and was a member of the local civil defense group.
Maury is an avid CW contester and has been successful both as a single op and in multi-operator entries from the East Coast of the USA, the UK, and Switzerland. He was contest co-ordinator for the FSDXA D68C expedition in 2001 that set a new record in the Africa Multi-Two category in the ARRL DX CW contest. More recently Maury has been building an SO2R contest station in Maryland (halfway between K3ZO and W3LPL!). In the early stages, with a tribander and wires, he managed to place number 2 in the USA in ARRL DX CW in 2003. (He avoids certain defeat by his famous neighbors by competing in the single operator low-power category!) Between 2004 and 2011 he finished in the top 5 of every CQWW,
