Episode 192 - Fred Cady (SK) - KE7X

Transcript Commissioned by: Bryan Whitcomb, K7KX

Eric Guth: Welcome to the QSO Today podcast. I'm Eric Guth 4Z1UG, your host. Fred Cady KE7X took his love of radio and electronics as far as he could go, and that was to a PhD in electronic engineering, where he settled into teaching at Montana State University. Now retired, Fred is the author of 14 books on using and operating the Elecraft Transceivers and accessories. Fred is also an avid contest operator and DXer. We will dig into this and more on this QSO Today. KE7X, this is Eric 4Z1UG. Are you there, Fred?

Fred Cady: 4Z1UG, this is KE7X. Good morning, Eric.

Eric Guth: Good morning, Fred. Thanks for joining me on the QSO Today podcast. Can we start at the beginning of your ham radio story? When and how did it start for you?

​Fred Cady: Well, it started when I was in high school. About 1958ish, '59ish, '59ish probably more likely. And one of my classmates got his license, and then I had a receiver. My dad had bought me an SX-17, I think it was, a Hallicrafters receiver that I had listened to for a year or two or so, and it just seemed like it was a good thing to try to do.

Brian, AD2BA: Hi, Eric. How are you? Greetings from wonderful upstate New York.

Eric, 4Z1UG: Well, greetings, Brian. I am great, from Israel. I'm sure this is fall in New York is here, so the weather must be beautiful.

Brian, AD2BA: Yeah. If you live in upstate New York, this is the season to be here. All the trees are turning colors. It's no longer incredibly hot, and we're just not quite yet at the point where we're getting snow. Although I fear that is coming.

Jim, AD4YM:  Yes, I am.
Eric, 4Z1UG:  Jim, thanks for joining me on the QSO Today Podcast. Can we start at the beginning of your ham radio story? When and how did it start for you?
Jim, AD4YM:  My ham radio story started in 1957, when I was 12 years old. There were several factors that turned into a perfect storm. First, Sputnik went up then, and that inspired nearly every young boy watching the satellite go overhead. Whoever was interested in space, thought this was great.
