Episode 517 - Willi Kraml - OE1WKL

Picture
My guest this week is Willi Kraml, OE1WKL, creator of the Morserino CW code practice machine .  Willie  discovered amateur radio as a boy in Lindz, Austria, but had to wait until the legal age of 16 to get his license.  With his doctorate in linguistics, Willi pursued a career in IT security with KPMG.  When his local maker-space needed an Arduino project around amateur radio, the Morserino code practice system was born.  OE1WKL discusses the delivery of over 10,000 Morserinos, his projects, and his contributions to amateur radio in this QSO Today.

Episode 507 - Bob Phinney - K5TEC

Picture
Bob Phinney, K5TEC, created a new and dynamic after-school science and amateur radio program called New England Sci-Tech, Inc, after his private school, where Bob taught for many years, closed his program from their lack of vision.  K5TEC refocused his energies and built an amazing after school program, and home school resource,  for kids that re-enforces STEM learning, through the study of amateur radio, computers, electronics, and astronomy to make new and exciting amateur radio operators.  Bob, K5TEC, shares the story and the ingredients that make his program a success.

Episode 482 - Ram Muthukrishnan - VU2JXN

Picture
Ram Muthukrishnan, VU2JXN, while growing up in India, had a difficult time finding any information about amateur radio in the libraries and magazines.  It was not until Ram attended university that he met licensed amateur radio operators and could pursue the hobby.  CW is Ram’s favorite operating mode, especially after attending CW Academy.  He modified his SSB only BitX transceiver to operate CW and to use it for CW practice. As a software engineer by trade, Ram has a keen interest in software defined radio, SDR, homebrewing radios, and CW.  VU2JXN is my QSO Today.  ​

Episode 436 - Jerry Spring - VE6TL

Picture
Jerry Spring, VE6TL, like many hams got an early start in amateur radio as a teen, but stepped out of the hobby to nurture a career and family.  Upon returning Jerry revisited his love of vintage WW2 gear, vintage transceivers in general, and a love of CW and contesting to make enough contacts for DXCC.  ForJerry, both hamshack and workbench are fully operational and busy.  VE6TL is my QSO Today.
