Episode 001 - Arie Kliengold - PA3A
Arie Kleingold, PA3A, came to my attention because of his DXpeditions, through Mercy Ships, hospital ships, off the coast of Africa. In this QSO, Arie tells us his ham radio story beginning with his stint in the Merchant Marine to the present.
Arie said that he did not have any Elmer to get started in ham radio. Instead he became a CW operator in the Merchant Marine, working as a radio operator aboard freighter ships.
