Episode 468 – David Casler – KE0OG

Picture

I interviewed Dave Casler, KE0OG, in September 2017, at a time when 10 meters was dead, and the discussion of ham radio education was as important then,  as it is today.  Dave creates ham radio Youtube videos from the Western Slope of Colorado to educate and inform his ham radio audience.  Beginning with videos to aid in obtaining ham radio licenses, Dave has created a catalog of how-to videos for ham radio that are interesting and well produced.  Dave is a retired project engineer from the aerospace industry and a self published author of both fiction and non-fiction works.  KE0OG is my QSO Today in this reprise of the earlier interview, now re-mastered and cleaned up.
