Episode 000 - Eric Guth - 4Z1UG / Wa6IGR

As the producer and creator of QSO Today, I wanted to make a pre-episode, called 000, to introduce myself, this podcast and blog.  I want to share with you my ham radio story.  A QSO, however, is a conversation between hams.  That is why Episode 001 will be the first of many conversations that I will have with hams who have a story to tell.  Stay tuned to my QSO Today Podcast.
