Thompson became a ham in his teens in the early 30’s, and was on top of his game as DXer and Contester for over 75 years. He had his station in Curacao from 1971 to 2000, hosting many well known contesters and helping to put Curacao on the map, at least among DXers and contesters. That station is now operated under the callsign PJ2T.
Thompson is a member of the Yankee Clipper Contest Club, First Class Operators Club, the Connecticut Wireless Association, and the Quarter Century Wireless Association.
