Episode 267 - Burt Fisher - K1OIK

Burt Fisher, K1OIK, raised a stir and perhaps the ire of many hams with a 2008 YouTube video critical of amateur radio operators and their operating practices.

K1OIK tells his ham radio story and shares his opinions that led to the controversial video and the rest of the story in this QSO Today.
