Episode 397 - Ed Wilson - N2XDD

Picture
Ed Wilson, N2XDD, discovered radio as a kid with a gifted four channel public safety scanner.  This led to an interest in radio, a career in law enforcement,  and exposure to amateur radio.  Now an active ham, Ed has become a booster of the M17 project, a native ham radio digital mode for VHF and above.  NX2DD is my QSO Today.
