Hello everyone,
This week, I decided to do something different and share some discoveries I made online about famous radio amateurs. You might already know them, but I was impressed with the names I found. I realize there are many more, and I apologize for not including all of them. If you have any contact with a famous amateur radio operator and would like to share your QSL card, we would be happy to publish it in our next newsletters. This research made me appreciate the diversity and welcoming nature of the amateur radio world. Here are my findings:
