After the general chapter business was completed, Harry introduced the evening speaker: Mr. James Press.  Mr. Press has been working in the EMC field for over 22 years. In his present position as Director of National EMC Operations for National Technical Systems, he is involved in commercial, military, nuclear and telecommunications EMC design and test. National Technical Systems consist of environmental laboratories worldwide with 7 containing EMC capabilities. Mr. Press is responsible for all EMC technical issues and development nationwide.  Mr. Press has been on the MIL-STD-461D/E, TR-102323, SAE AE-2, DO0160F/G, Defense Industry Steering Committee (DIESC) and AREMA EMC Committees.  Mr. Press holds a BA from Temple University and a MS from Iowa State University, both in Physics. He has published over 20 articles and a handbook on EMC test and design.  Mr. Press is NARTE certified EMC Engineer.

Mr. Press’s presentation provided an overview of MIL-STD-461E and 461F and the major difference of the two standards.  All tests methods were covered and the audience was able to ask questions and provide comments to the MIL-STD’s.  Our thanks for Jim for a very enlightening presentation!

The chapter continued to informally socialize and tour that facility after the presentation. The meeting was called to a close at about 8:30 pm.  Stay tuned for upcoming speakers. Our thanks to all who attended!
