One of the bright stars of Dayton Hamvention® 2026 was Walt Leonard, K4OGO, known to hams everywhere as “Salty Walt.”
How popular is K4OGO among homebrewers and lovers of portable operating, especially when there’s an ocean or saltwater nearby? Well, he drew a long line of enthusiasts near ARRL’s setup who were eager to get a signed copy of his new book, “Salty Walt’s Next Level Portable Antenna Sketchbook.” It’s available now at DX Engineering, along with his previous favorite, “Salty Walt’s Portable Antenna Sketchbook.” Just enter “Salty Walt” at DXEngineering.com and you’ll find them both.
Prior to Hamvention, DX Engineering had the chance to talk with Salty Walt about RF theory, antenna design, and portable ops during this video hosted by Michael, KI8R.
