    Walt Hudson K4OGO

    Walt Hudson, K4OGO, has always lived by and had a love of the sea, pursuing a career in ship building, beginning in Port Smith, Virginia.  While he always had an interest in radio, including Citizens band radio, it wasn’t until just a few years ago that Walt became a ham radio operator. Since he is always near the shore, operating portable QRP SSB from the water’s edge and making DX contacts is what excites him.  K4OGO loves to experiment with vertical antennas on the beach to fine tune his technical and operating skills.  K4OGO is my QSO Today.

    Adam Kimmerly K6ARK

    Adam Kimmerly, K6ARK, discovered amateur radio almost by accident through his participation in the San Diego Mountain Rescue organization.  Adam’s ham radio interests evolved from VHF to HF SOTA, or Summits on the Air, learning CW, and reaching SOTA Mountain Goat status.  The need for light weight kits to carry to the most difficult to reach summits demanded new expertise in antenna design and construction with 3D printing.  K6ARK tells his ham radio story in this QSO Today.
