Episode 161 - Lauren Libby - W0LD
From an early age, the love of radio broadcasting began with a homebrew 10 watt AM broadcast station and a call from the local FCC office that brought Lauren Libby, W0LD, to amateur radio. He developed a love for DXing by meteor scatter and moon bounce. Lauren has made a career of radio broadcasting and is the CEO of the World’s largest international shortwave broadcasting network. |
