Episode 379 – Julian White – OH8STN

Julian White, OH8STN, operates outdoors in Finland’s Arctic Circle and records, on his popular YouTube Channel,  his expeditions with his compact but sophisticated simulations of grid down communications.  Julian is a natural teacher and his channel may be one of the best ways to understand how and what to pack to take into the wild.  OH8STN is my QSO Today.

Greatest challenge facing amateur radio now:  the amateur community does not understand the questions asked by the public.  We have to do better to communicate our value. 

Excited most by: new breed of QRP Radios like the IC-705, TX-500,  and their accessories.  

Advice to new or returning hams: Experiment, make some goals, experiment, test, get out in the field.
