Episode 031 - Kevin Custer - W3KKC

Some people are born into it. Some people are just naturals. Kevin Custer, W3KKC, is maybe a combination of both. Kevin's father, Ken Custer, W3WGX (SK), exposed Kevin to the art of radio from the beginning. From the tender age of five, Kevin could help his father change out shorted bypass capacitors from inside of a Gates broadcast transmitter chassis. Continuous exposure to radios and electronics, and the support of Kevin's father and other Elmers put Kevin on his professional path. Becoming a ham, a radio expert, and creator of the Repeater Builder website is just the beginning of the Kevin's story. Kevin joins Eric, 4Z1UG, in his QSO Today, to tell the rest of the story.

When Eddie Leighton, ZS6BNE, created “shack in a sack” as a working concept for portable operation, in South Africa's great outdoors, for ham radio activity and contests, he had no idea it would become an international ham radio phenomena he renamed RaDAR, or rapid deployment amateur radio.
