Episode 214 - Bernie McClenny - W3UR
As an eleven year old, watching his dad put pins in a World map while working DX, Bernie McClenny, W3UR, became hooked on ham radio and working his own DX. Bernie has made working DX, not only his hobby, but his profession as well. Bernie is the publisher of The Daily DX, and author of the monthly QST Magazine column, "How’s DX". We will get into W3UR’s ham radio story and his unusual collaboration with his neighbor in this QSO Today. |
