Episode 345 - Tom Robinson - G0SBW

Picture
Tom Robinson, G0SBW, made a very interesting presentation at the Expo called, “Amateurs Research Poor Radio Communications at the Battle of Arnhem, in 1944”, where the British lost this WW2 battle because of poor communications.  I urge you to go view Tom’s presentation at the Expo.  I interviewed Tom back in September of 2017, because Tom likes to operate backpack mobile on the English Shore, dragging his counterpoise, like a tail behind him.  He has had amazing success with this operating mode, and shares how you too can get out of the noise by also operating man-pack mobile.  G0SWB is my QSO Today.

Episode 344 - Robert Zavrel - W7SX

Picture
When it comes to understanding how antennas really work, then the “go to” ham is Bob Zavrel, W7SX, author of the ARRL book, Antenna Physics - An Introduction.  Through this book, Bob bridges the gap between “how to” antenna books,  and calculus based antenna theory books for engineers.  Bob has a long resume in radio and electronics, is the accidental creator of the Signetics NE602 mixer chip.  Bob was my guest in this interview over 200 episodes ago and shares his story in this replay in this QSO Today.

Episode 338 - Jerry Weisskohl - AC4BT

Jerry Weisskohl, AC4BT, always had a love of radio and short wave listening.  He got a late start in amateur radio but thinks that the art and practice of CW, or Morse code, is exactly what quiets and relaxes the mind after an engaging day as a computer scientist.  AC4BT has taken lead roles with CWops and CW Academy and is my QSO Today.
