Episode 176 - Hal Turley - W8HC
 | Hal Turley, W8HC, is a veteran DXpeditioner who is headed for Bouvet Island, perhaps the World’s most remote Island and DX entity, in a few weeks. Hal tells his ham radio story, his discovery and the satisfaction that he gains from working DX, and his personal preparations for his upcoming trek to Bouvet Island with the 3Y0Z DXpedition team. W8HC is my QSO Today. |
