Gregory Smith is a retired electronic technologist who worked in new product design, electronic test fixture design, and new product compliance to federal, military, and international standards for the Ohaus Corp. and ASCO Power Technologies/Emerson Network Power. Technical writing began at Gow-Mac Instrument Company writing instruction manuals for all their products. He attended both County College of Morris and National Radio Institute in Washington, D.C. Greg's interest in radio communication began in seventh grade when he became a radio amateur and then near retirement achieved his Extra Class FCC License of W2GLS. In 2006, he began writing for Monitoring Times Magazine with "Tales of a Teenage Radio Amateur," then became a regular writer for the magazine. Three of his stories were chosen as cover stories. "Who Really Invented Morse Code" unveiled the truth, that Alfred Vail was the real inventor of Morse code. "How to Catch a Spy," kept readers on the edge of their seats as the author and three other radio amateurs triangulated a spy's location in PA, reporting it to the FBI. Years later, CBS broadcasted on "60 Minutes," "The Spy Among Us" believed to be the same spy. In 2018 the author published his first book, "Mischievous in Mendham," a Collection of Childhood Memories followed by "More Mischievous in Mendham,"published in 2019. See less
